About the Book



In this lovable story from a Newbery Medal-winner, Otis is the most irritating--and irresistible--troublemaker in school. Nothing gives Otis as much pleasure as teasing Ellen Tebbits. After tolerating it for a while, Ellen gets angry and takes action. Digest.



Book Synopsis



Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary brings her understanding and warmth to every page of this wonderful story of a "bad boy."

When it comes to stirring up a little excitement in class, Otis Spofford knows just what to do. He can turn a folk dance fiesta into a three-ring circus . . . or an arithmetic lesson into a spitball marathon.

Best of all, Otis likes teasing neat, well-behaved Ellen Tebbits--until the day his teasing goes too far. Now Otis is nervous, because Ellen isn't just mad . . . she's planning something!
