INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Walters, Eric

Special Edward

(4) 4-6 Orca Currents series. To lower his teachers' and parents' expectations--and to gain extra time to complete exams--Ed concocts a scheme to get himself labeled "exceptional." He thinks a special education designation will allow him to cruise through school, but instead ends up having surprising realizations about himself. Though the story is purpose-driven, Ed's wily scheming prevents the text from being overly didactic.
