Preview: Hear it

When Lylice found out she was skipping fifth grade, she was excited. Then nervous. Then excited again. Then terrified. On her first day of sixth grade everything bad that could happen did. But when Senora Schwartz assigned her to be Mexico Mendozas English Buddy, school got a little better. Then a lot better. Then not as better. Then much, much worse. This is the story of her first quarter at Susan B. Anthony Middle School.
