Do you remember how you felt when the first day of school arrived? Like most of us, Andi is nervous about attending school for the very first time because things are unfamiliar. From hiding in a barn to climbing up a tree, our main character finds herself not easily fitting in with the routine of classroom rules and students, learning to trust others. On top of that, her teacher Miss Hall has her writing on the blackboard during the children's recess as a way to teach Andi Carter obedience. After all, one of the many rules to learn is, I Will Not Talk During Class. Misunderstandings continue to unfold throughout a series of adventures but things turn around for Andi with the help of a new friend, Cory and his lizard named Pickles. Most importantly, Andi realizes she doesn't need to feel alone at school whenever she is away from home because God is always with her and Miss Hall is very nice, too. An enjoyable read. ( )
