I'm not a book reviewer and I don't play one on TV....
.....but here's what I loved about The Year of Billy Miller by Kevin Henkes:
Funny
Sweet
Realistic
Heartfelt
Kind-hearted
Henkes just NAILS the main character. It's almost as if he actually WAS a second-grade boy at some point in his life.
Oh, wait...
Anyway, a super lovable character in perfect kid-centered vignettes.
The book is divided into four parts: Teacher, Sal [sister], Papa and Mama, focusing on Billy's relationship with those characters.
Loved it.
