Joshua T. Bates in Trouble Again

Front Cover
Knopf, 1998 - Juvenile Fiction - 112 pages
Joshua T. Bates is back in a brand-new story that fills in the time between
"The Flunking of Joshua T. Bates" and "Joshua T. Bates Takes Charge."
After flunking third grade and repeating a semester, Joshua has finally been
promoted to fourth grade. But moving forward and fitting in are two different
matters. Tommy Wilhelm, Joshua's sworn enemy, is the class leader and Josh will
do anything to make sure Tommy doesn't think he's a nerd--like walking in on
his first day with a cigarette behind his ear to look cool and stealing his
dad's Swiss Army knife to show off at the playground. Luckily, Mrs. Goodwin,
Joshua's favorite teacher from third grade, is there to listen and help, and
finally Joshua understands that the only way to handle Tommy Wilhelm is to
stand up to him. With moments both funny and poignant, this will be a big hit
with fans of the first two books and will win many new fans as well.
