Book Synopsis

Someone new is about to join Mr. Wolf's class!

Mr. Wolf's class is welcoming Zora to her first day at Hazelwood Elementary. As the new kid, she wants to make a good first impression, but when her introduction goes a little too well, not everyone is happy for her.

When the competition becomes heated and feelings get hurt, Zora and Randy will have to figure out how to get along in the same class!
