(3) 4-6 Illustrated by C. B. Decker. Logan hopes fifth grade will give him a clean slate; however, things go awry with a new girl at school who has a knack for getting Logan in trouble. Meanwhile, Logan's "forgetful" grandfather has moved in, causing tension and embarrassment at home. Jones effectively uses humor to address the issue of dementia through a ten-year-old's eyes ("Grandpa was naked," begins the book).
