Ethan Marcus Stands Up

(3) 4-6 Five sixth graders take turns telling this engaging story, which centers on a science invention contest. When "good kid" Ethan decides to develop a desk that allows fidgety students to work standing up, it frustrates his perfectionist sister, confuses his best friend, and intrigues his crush and the class troublemaker. Multiple narrators effectively depict events unfolding from a variety of perspectives.
