(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Tim Probert. When fifth graders Rip and Red get an unconventional new teacher, there are big changes--which for Red, who's on the autism spectrum, spell big anxiety. Narrator Rip's empathy for his friend helps both boys not only adjust but excel in surprising new ways. Bildner's portrayal of an ASD child is sensitive and thoughtful in this entertaining, diversely populated school story.
