Watch out, Junie, there's a new kid on the block! It's Freddy Thresher, a first grader who knows it's a jungle out there. A new chapter book series written by an elementary teacher who's seen it all!
Freddy Thresher has a problem: a really, really, big problem. He's the only one in his class who hasn't lost a tooth! All of the other students in Mrs. Wushy's first grade have signed their names on the Big Tooth, and Freddy's determined to get his name on it, too. So when Max "The Meanie" Sellars calls Freddy a baby, Freddy decides he's going to lose that tooth one way or another, even if it means getting punched in the face at recess, or even bigger trouble, with Mom!
Synopsis
"I have a problem. A really, really big problem. I'm the only one in my class who hasn't lost a tooth!" Join first grader Freddy Thresher and his friends as he tackles the biggest crisis in his life so far. When eating crunchy veggies and tying a string to the doorknob (with scotch tape) don't work, Freddy decides the only way to lose that pesky tooth is to pick a fight with the class bully and get it knocked out. Unfortunately, that leads to even more trouble--with mom! Come along for a hilarious ride as Freddy finally earns a treat from the Tooth Fairy--in a laugh-out-loud, unexpected way.
Synopsis
Unhappy to be the only one in his class who still has not lost a tooth, first-grader Freddy tries to find a way to expedite matters but then is faced with another problem.
