Good Grief...Third Grade by Colleen O'Shaughnessy McKenna

 This year, third grader Marsha Cassano, has vowed to have a neat desk at all times, and will never get in trouble. She has even signed a contract with her parents to show that she was very serious about  these resolutions. Marsha has also stated that she is going to be nicer to her nemesis, Roger Friday, and not argue with him at all. Unfortunately, on the first day of school, there is Roger, back to teasing her, and Marsha responds by accidentally slamming her desk on Roger's fingers. This is NOT the way she intended the first day to go, especially with the new student teacher, Miss Murtland, being in class.
 
Things then go from bad to worse when Marsha is assigned to Roger as a book buddy. At first, things are okay, but then something happens where Roger is suspended from school, and it isn't really even his fault. Will Marsha confess? Will Roger come back to school? Read this story to find out! This is a good story that deals with some tough life lessons, lying and atoning for those lies. It is also about giving someone a chance. Recommended for grades 3-5.
