This is the story of Justin Krzeszewski (is it any wonder they call him Justin Case?) Justin worries about everything, and is often heard saying "Just in case..." This story is told in diary form, throughout the entire 3rd grade year.
The year starts out with lots of disappointments. Justin gets to his new classroom and finds out that he has the nicest new teacher, and his best and second best friends are in his class! This doesn't last long, however, as Justin finds out on Friday, when the principal hustles him down to a different classroom with the meanest teacher ever, Mrs. Termini.
Throughout the year we find out all about Justin's fears, his sports, his violin lessons and his friendships. We also learn a lot about his little sister Elizabeth, who is in kindergarten.
Justin is an awesome third grader and I think many students will totally agree with his outlook on life. I found myself laughing out loud throughout the book and I'm looking forward to his next adventures...perhaps as a 4th grader!
