In Justin Case, Rachel Vail has created a thoroughly engaging character who struggles with being a son, big brother and third grader. Told in daily diary entries from just before the first day of school in September to the end of June, the reader rides the roller coaster of being eight. Vail does a great job capturing the angst and awkwardness of third grade with just the right amount of humor.
