(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Cynthia Fisher. As a new student joining a class in the middle of third grade, Randall needs a way to make friends. He begins sending secret notes and signing them with a rose--a trick he learned by watching the hero in the movie of The Scarlet Pimpernel. While the exposition is frequently labored, much of this school story, illustrated with black-and-white art, rings true.
