Summary: This story is about Mattie Breen who does not quite fit in with her other 5th grade classmates. She hasn't remained in one particular for too long. This is her 5th school. She does not enjoy lunch and recess time. She finds these events awkward and does not know how to act in social situations. She devises a plan to help out her uncle who is the "Director of Custodial Arts" and follows him around with a notebook hoping he will notice that she could be a help for him. This story is about family, friendship, and acceptance. This would be a good independent read for a classroom.
