Synopsis

Meet the kids in Mrs. Z’s wacky and wonderful third-grade class! Cheerleader Emma McKenna is thrilled for the first day of school… until her frenemy shows up and all of Emma’s plans for a social do-over take a tumble!

Emma McKenna can’t wait for third grade at the brand-new Curiosity Academy. She’ll have a cool teacher who wears high-tops and science earrings. She’ll meet interesting classmates from all over Peppermint Falls. Best of all, she’ll get a fresh start after last year’s talent-show disaster left her with that awful nickname. It’s going to be the best year ever!

Then Lucy walks into Mrs. Z’s room.
Lucy, Emma’s best-friend-turned-enemy.
Lucy, who gave Emma that nickname and spread it all over school!
Emma’s fresh start is doomed . . . unless she can make friends before Lucy ruins everything.

So Emma sets out to be pals with everyone, just like her favorite animal, the capybara. As her classmates argue over the choice of a new school mascot, Emma stays quiet and doesn’t pick sides. (The last thing she needs is another enemy.) But maybe speaking up could be the thing that helps her really connect with her class—and saves her at last from third-grade doom.

Both sweetly poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, with black-and-white illustrations by Pura Belpré Honor artist Kat Fajardo, Emma McKenna welcomes readers into Mrs. Z’s class where friendship and fun rule the school in this series-starter from New York Times bestselling author Kate Messner.

After the Morning Scribble, everyone got to share One Interesting Thing about themselves.

Fia had just moved to Peppermint Falls from Trinidad.

Steven helped his grandmother care for injured animals.

Mars wanted to be a makeup artist for scary movies when he grew up, and Ruthie wanted to be a Broadway star.

Emma didn’t know what she wanted to be. Was she supposed to know that?

Poppy spoke Cantonese.

Adam spoke Urdu and Arabic.

Carlota volunteered at a center to help new immigrants.

Emma stared down at her skirt. Was cheerleading interesting? Maybe not.

She had twin sisters. That was kind of interesting.

She had a pet bulldog so old he had to go for walks in a baby stroller. That was interesting, but Emma couldn’t share it. Not without reminding Lucy of the nickname.

 “I…uh…like cheerleading,” Emma said when it was her turn.

Mrs. Z. nodded and smiled. Then she moved on to Thunder, who told the class that she knew how to speak hamster and was teaching her dog English using buttons with words on them.

There was no doubt about it. Emma was the Least Interesting Person in Mrs. Z’s class. No one would want to be friends with her. Third grade was doomed.

“Doomed” was a good word. When you used it, grownups always said you were exaggerating, but Emma wasn’t. She knew doom when she saw it coming.
