Product Description
Robert’s return to third grade isn’t as auspicious as he had hoped. When his classmates start laughing at him, he decides it’s because of his curly hair, which has grown long over the summer. He convinces his friend Paul to give him a haircut, with disastrous results. Then he begs his brother Charlie to repair the damage, which makes things worse. It doesn’t help when Robert decides to wear a baseball cap to school; that just creates new problems! Ever hopeful that things will somehow turn out right, Robert invites all of his friends to a Halloween party, boasting that his father has some great scary tricks. Sure enough, the other kids have a wonderful time being scared, but since Robert knows all of his father’s tricks — or thinks he does — how can he have the fun of being scared, too? In this fourth book in the best-selling series, Paul Brewer’s witty illustrations and Barbara Seuling’s sensitive text put their less-than-perfect little hero to the test, in the process capturing the uncertainties and unexpected joys of growing up. ...

Back to School
Book one, School's Out, started a little slow, butBack to School was great. I laughed out loud at Rachel's crazy adventures.Trouble does seem to follow Rachel, but she really is a great kid!

A Gem!
My daughter and I love the Rachel Yoder series! These books are so great. My daughter loves learning about the Amish, but they also teach important lessons about faith that are relatable even to us Englishers.

Back to School(Rachel Yoder-Always Trouble Somewhere)
This book about a young Amish girl should teach young children how to get along with those who tease them. Since I'm a "kid at heart", I did order and read this book, and I love reading about Amish people-young and old. In fact I am interested in living with an Amish family for about two weeks next year just to see if the Amish life is for me.

Super Book!!
This is a wonderful book for ages 8-12, but I enjoyed it as an adult.Rachel, the main character, is always having problems as the new school year begins.Her childhood problems always work out though, and there is even a little romance in the background.This book really holds your attention!

A wonderful book
This book is a great book to read.Getting ready to go back to school was a big thing when I was in school and it seems to be Rachel's too until there is a new boy in the class who like's Rachel.She doesn't know that he likes her.She thinks he is just mean and likes to pick on her.This is an Awesome childrens book and Series.I am looking forwad to reading the next one.Hint hint Wanda!!!!:)

In some ways, the adult returning to college will find theexperience much easier than it would have been in his or her youth, tothe extent that the "mature student" will wonder why everyone doesn'twait till adolescence is long gone before engaging with lectures andmajors and essays and exams.

Invaluable Tool
I am preparing to return to college and have found this book to be an invaluable tool.

This book even includes tips on how to study and how to write a term paper!It also has some great advice on obtaining financial aid.

Highly recommended.

Great Book !
As an older returning non-traditional student,for me, this book really answered the questions you don't even think to ask but should. It really helps overcome a lot of anxiety for returning students, especially on Math.

It also gives you an excellent game plan to follow on studying,and life management for those married students or single parents returning to school. It's worth the small investment. It is well written by someone thats been there.

I lived this
I read this book last summer before taking the plunge and returning to college after almost 30 years. It was invaluable and I definitely recommend it!

Preparing for an education
The intended audience for this book is an older student who is going to college to earn some kind of undergraduate degree.It's probably unnecessary for those seeking higher degrees, but some younger students might benefit from reading it.The author is a Psychology professor and much of the book draws from theories of learning.You'll also see some psychoanalysis in the discussions of anecdotal stories.If you're not into that, it may be a problem.The author is best at discussing the broader issues concerning school such as motivation and knowing your support systems, while the details about writing a term paper, or overcoming math anxiety were thin and almost useless.

If you're an adult, and you're anxious about going back to school, then I recommend the book.It'll soothe your anxiety and you'll be better able to evaluate your readiness for school.Otherwise, I'm not so sure you'll find it worth your while.If you want a book on how to study well, better ones exist.

Some stuff I knew already, but some really great study info!
I picked this book up with the intension of just skimming it but I read every page!I also recommended this book to several of my friends that are going back to college.The author gives you some really interesting and effective strategies for studying(I've tried them - and got 104% on the next test I took), writing papers, scheduling your time.It was really helpful and I would recommend it to any college student not only older ones! ...
