When Randall changes to a new school, he pretends to be an anonymous hero until he finds that being himself is good enough. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book was a selected "summer reading" story for my son. We weren't sure what to expect but had no choice in the matter given it was mandatory. Bottom-line: My son and I both enjoyed the book. It was an easy read for him, the characters were very likable and the story flowed easily. Randall (main character) is very sweet, a bit insecure and has a good heart.
Review of The Hero of Third Grade
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This was a great book. I really enjoyed the main character Randall. He is going through the struggle of his parents divorcing, moving to a new town, starting at a new school, and making new friends. I really feel that children will be able to relate to the struggles that Randall experiences in the book. I think this would be an excellent choice for beginning readers. I found this book to be both funny and interesting!
What a charmer!

Randall is an irresistible hero. Young readers can't help but relate to his efforts to fit in at his new school. Warm-hearted and true-to-life, this book will draw in even reluctant readers with its humor.
