It means that his teacher, Mrs. Simms, will hold a competition every month to see which student deserves to be awarded the halo - which student is best-behaved, kindest to others, and, in short, perfect. Suds is determined to be the first to earn the halo, but he's finding the challenge of always being good to be more stressful than he had anticipated. Does he have to be good even outside of school? (Does he have to be nice to his annoying little sister?) And if Mrs. Simms doesn't actually see him doing a good deed, does it even count?A warm, funny return to elementary school from master storyteller Spinelli.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for THIRD GRADE ANGELS: Spinelli doesn't miss a beat in recreating the characters from [Fourth Grade Rats]... Sweet and funny. -- KIRKUS REVIEWSThird-graders are notoriously competitive, and Spinelli has his finger on the pulse of that age group. Suds's first-person account rings true. -- HORN BOOKThis beginning chapter book moves at an enjoyably brisk pace; readers will appreciate the familiar school and home settings, and they'll look forward to meeting the characters again in a forthcoming book. A story kids will relate to, with valuable, down-to-earth messages about character and motives. -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jennifer A.
