Watch out, Junie B., there´s a new kid on the block! It´s Freddy Thresher, a 1st grader who knows it´s a jungle out there. Here´s the fourth in a new series by an elementary teacher who´s seen it all. I have a problem. A really, really, big problem. I want to try out for the peewee hockey team, but so does Max . . . Bullies are a problem in school, and Max Sellars is the worst one yet. In addition to hassling Freddy, Max also challenges him for the open spot on the peewee hockey team. Freddy´s close friend Jessie is a star hockey player, and she secretly teaches him some rules and tricks. In a warm and funny ending, Max and Freddy make peace with one another, and--in a surprising twist--end up becoming teammates.
