(4) 4-6 Fourth-grader Julie feels dumb because she can't stop messing up or getting bad grades. But when her little brother Bean calls 911, just like she taught him, to save their father's life, Julie decides one thing she's good at is teaching. The book never mentions learning disabilities or explains why Julie can't learn, but her difficulties are believably conveyed.
