About this ebook
A young boy must come to terms with the school bully moving in next door in this charming, illustrated chapter book.
In the fourth book in the Carver Chronicles series, third grader Calvin is dealing with his next-door neighbors moving away—and the school bully moving in. Meanwhile, competition at the school science fair is heating up, and Calvin must decide what to do when his data doesn’t prove his theory . . .
This lively installment in a chapter book series about a diverse group of elementary schoolers by Coretta Scott King Honoree Karen English offers spot-on storytelling, relatable characters and situations, and plenty of action.
Praise for Trouble Next Door
“Chronicling the importance of empathy and openness, this fourth in the Carver Chronicles is a pleasing addition to a series in which diverse readers can recognize themselves in starring roles.” —Kirkus Reviews
