Hi, I'm August. I'm not an ordinary 10-year-old kid.

Normal kids don't make other kids run away screaming

AAAHHHH!!!!

Next week I start fifth grade at a new school. I've never gone to a real school before.

When I was born, my mom told me all she could see was born were how pretty my eyes were.

I was really bummed when my best friend Chris Tiphor moved away.

One day when we were driving home from Chris Tiphor's house I overheard my parents talking about the idea of me going to school. This was big deal because I had always been homeschooled!

The next day, when I woke up my parents told me a little about the director of my new school Mr. Tushman. And suddenly Dad cracked a joke about his high school teacher Miss Butt!

I went to the school a couple weeks later to take take a tour. I met Mr. Tushman at the front steps and he didn't even seem to notice how different my face was.

Unlike Mr. Tushman, Mrs. Garcia looked very surprised to see me.

Hi we are Jack Will, Julian, and Charlotte. We'll show you around Beecher Prep.

First, this is our Homeroom.

What's a Homeroom?

We do a school play every year. Last year we put on Oliver.

Can I ask you a question?

Geez Julian, just shut up!

Is your name Jack, or Jackwill?
