The Newbie ( books for kids age 7-10)

A chapter book for kids age 7-10 from the author of The Principal's Son and Middle School Millionaires.

Pedro is quite popular and has a lot of friends€¦until he moves to America. In America, things are altogether different. Pedro finds that making new friends in fourth grade is not at all easy when you€re the new kid. At school, he is belittled by Daryl Jetner, the fourth-grade bully. Nobody talks to him at the lunch table. And he struggles with schoolwork. He joins a soccer team, but he€s an outcast among his teammates, just like at school. Nothing seems to be going right. Pedro just can€t seem to make a friend. It€s going to be a long year€¦unless he can find a way to forge new friendships.

REVIEW
"Roderick J. Robison has created a wonderful story. A very cute, lighthearted story. This story with its characters allows a reader to grasp what it would be like to be a foreign exchange student or a regular student moving permanently to America." Readers' Favorite
