Rich kids are snobs and
slackers. They think they''re too good for anyone else, and that
they don''t have to work hard at anything. That, at least, is the
opinion of fifth-grade science teacher Mr. Maxwell, and the
super-rich new kid, Mark Chelmsley, is showing no signs of
transcending the stereotype. Or is Mr. Maxwell just too
anti-elitist or ego-driven to notice? Once again, the talented
Andrew Clements Frindle, The
Janitor''s Boy allows adult characters to
"come of age" righ
內容簡介:
But it may be too late for Mark to change Mr. Maxwell''s opinion
of him. On the first day of the Week, the tension between teacher
and student explodes, and in a reckless moment, Mark puts not only
himself, but also Mr. Maxwell, in grave danger. Can two such strong
adversaries work together to save their lives?
