(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Isaac Millman. Nervous about being the new kid in third grade, Howie adopts the persona of Secret Agent Bean Burger and begins investigating crimes. He solves a case and wins admirers but soon finds he's more at ease as himself. Amiable illustrations accompany the short chapters of this light, readable story, which nimbly traces Howie's worries as well as the hopeful beginnings of new friendships.
