Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary brings her understanding and warmth to every page of this wonderful story of a “bad boy.”
When it comes to stirring up a little excitement in class, Otis Spofford knows just what to do. He can turn a folk dance fiesta into a three-ring circus… or an arithmetic lesson into a spitball marathon.
Best of all, Otis likes teasing neat, well-behaved Ellen Tebbits - until the day his teasing goes too far. Now Otis is nervous, because Ellen isn’t just mad… she’s planning something!
