(3) 4-6 After spending a year in a special needs class, Todd is back in the regular fifth-grade classroom. Teased by students who call him "Mr. Retardo" and "Gump," Todd distances himself from his old friends in Special Needs and worries about his consistently poor grades. Related in Todd's authentic first-person voice, this episodic novel succeeds as a realistic, yet hopeful, character study.
