This review is from: Back to School with Betsy (Odyssey/Harcourt Young Classic) (Paperback)

Back to School with Betsy is all about Betsy and her third grade year. Things aren't going like Betsy thinks they should. Her favorite teacher has left. Before too long the new teacher turns out to be great too. The students have a great year and learn a lot. Betsy's friends are back as well and you never know what they will be up to next.

The book is full of good old fashion fun. No violence or bad words are found in this book. Kids respect the adults as well.

I would recommend this book to kids who are just starting out with chapter books. The chapters are not too long and not too short.
