Allbright,

It is
another last
day at school
for
Ross.
And it needs
to be epic.
Ross and his
mom move a lot
because of her
job. She is in
a touring
orchestra and
only spends a
short time in
each stop. So
Ross is used
to be the new
kid. And he
has had too
many last days
where he
gathers his
belongings and
heads to the
front of the
class to say
goodbye to
kids he
doesn't really
know. A few
moves ago, he
accidentally
knocked over
two desks full
of papers and
they went
flying.
It was
epic.
Everyone will
remember that
one. So now
when he
leaves, he
plans an epic
exit strategy.
The kids love
it but not the
teachers. So,
now a new
school. This
feels
different
though. It is
not for a new
job. This time
they are
moving in to
help his
grandfather
who has had an
accident. Now
there is no
idea when it
will be over.
And Ross faces
the fact that
he might just
have to try to
fit in. |
