Publisher's Synopsis
Summer is over, and it's time for school to start. Celeste isn't ready. Not only is she new in Hickory Falls, but she hasn't heard from her best friend, Jade, in several days. With a heavy heart, she attends her first day of school.
From taunting in the classroom to being ignored at recess, Celeste isn't having a good day. She begs not to go back, but her mother insists she must. Can Grumblemunch and Professor Prettypaws make her day better? What surprises are in store for Celeste as she waits for her mother to make the pizza? This book is divided into short chapters for younger readers. It contains a few simple illustrations (black and white in the print version) but is primarily text.
