Second grade is off to a stinkin’ start. There are classroom jobs. Gertie has to sit beside Scarlett, who does NOT think it is neat that she has the same name as a bean, and most of the kids invited to Gertie’s 7th birthday party apparently aren’t coming. Her big sister Liza says that weird kids do and say things other kids can’t relate to, and she tells Gertie she does NOT want to be weird. But what if it’s too late, and she already is?It helps that her friends from first grade are standing by her. But when Clark plays a practical joke on Scarlett to get her back for hurting Gertie’s feelings, it doesn’t make Gertie feel as good as she thought it would. And when she discovers her friend Zoey is worried that she is the weird kid this year, Gertie begins to see that being the only one who is doing something doesn’t make you \
