Is fifth grade a year to remember or forget? Solomon Isaiah Spreewell (Sis) seems to continually ask himself this question. How many boys can say that they have gone with the wrong girl, fell face first into pig manure, saw the principal get thrown-up on, got a kiss from his teacher, watched a classmate devour a cockroach, and battled with his sister Andie and her antics daily? Sis is sure that he is the only one with problems like these. Add to these problems a well--meaning friend called Twid, and the rest of the fifth grade. With the army of help that Sis has, how does he manage to get himself into such predicaments? The question should have been how does Sis manage to get out of such predicaments. The answer is the same way he got into them, with the help of his family and friends. The results that Sis receives to each of his problems aren't always what he had hoped for; nevertheless, the results are hysterical, as sometimes the unexpected becomes the expected. Is fifth grade a year to remember or forget for Solomon Isaiah Spreewell? You'll have to read the book to find out.
