The Year Of Billy Miller

"Billy Miller is a bit of a worrier. He worries that the bump on his head from a vacation accident may make him not smart enough for the second grade. He worries that he inadvertently insulted his new teacher. He worries that people will think him childish for calling his father Papa instead of Dad. He worries when his little sister gets glitter all over his bat cave diorama. But Billy is a lucky kid, with functional grown-ups in his life (especially Papa, who proves he has what it takes to be a good dad even when he has his own worries to deal with). It’s a real-life story with plenty of humor and heart, and a family to root for. (For ages 8 to 12)"
