Age: 4th-6th grade
SEL: Empathy

Mrs. Herrera's typically disjointed 6th grade class finds themselves bonding across cliques as they experience tantalizing mysteries: why does the mean popular girl suddenly change her ways? Why has a recently moved classmate been spotted around the school? How stole Mrs. Herrera's prized possessions?

Each chapter is told from the perspective of a different classmate, helping readers to build empathy and understanding about several scenarios. The amount of perspectives became overwhelming for my aged brain, but I don't think this will be a problem for a whipsmart 5th grader. They are so much smarter than me :*(
