Synopsis Martin Snodgrass, the hero in "Vinegar Pancakes and Vanishing Cream", is back. This time, Martin, his best friend, class clown Willie, and Marcia, a (gulp!) girl, all hang out together, hoping to hang out with the in crowd of fourth graders. But things start to go awry--the bouquet Martin gave his teacher had poison ivy in it, and she's now covered with an itchy rash, and maybe trimming Martin's bushy eyebrows wasn't such a great idea.
Nine-year-old Martin has a busy year in the fourth grade as he tries to find his own identity both at school and among his large and busy family.

Publisher's Note A lot can go wrong on the first day of school. Martin Snodgrass has high hopes for fourth grade. Maybe he'll meet some regular people. He's tired of being compared to his mom, the mayor; his dad, the doctor; his sister, the brain; and his big brother, the jock. But when his best friend starts hanging out with the coolest kids in the class, Martin must decide who his true friends are. Could they be the class clown and a goody-goody girl?
Industry Reviews "Pryor tunes right in to this audience and their thinking, making the future escapades of Martin eagerly awaited." Chelton
