    About this ebook

    So what if Stuey isn't the world's best reader, is only allowed to trick or treat around one block, doesn't get to play on his soccer dream team, and has to put up with the most annoying girl on the planet. Somehow Stuey always makes life work and when he puts his mind to it, he can survive anything—even second grade. This hilarious collection of linked short stories, interspersed with sprightly line drawings, marks an impressive chapter book debut.

      A perfect read for my second grader, he demanded more reading time each night to get to the end...next up Stuey Lewis in 3rd grade.

      Ugh. First off, I tend to be hyper critical of chapter books that do not have defined chapters. I get it when it is a stylistic choice, but in this book it is not the case.

      I found that the story was incredibly boring. For a kid who likes school stories this might hit the spot, but don't you dare hand this to a kid who wants a little adventure!

      What a cute book. The One and Only Stuey Lewis is told in four chapters about 2nd grade for Stuey. It starts out with the beginning of school and Stuey has a secret, he is afraid that everyone else reads better than he does. But with the help of his teacher he finds out that he can read just fine. The last chapter is about the last 3 days of school and how Stuey has decided that he is going to skip it because he does not want the school year to end. I will definitely keep this book to read to my Granddaughter.

    The One and Only Stuey Lewis - Jane Schoenberg

    I wake up and decide to have a stomachache that’s so bad I have to stay in bed.

    Hey, Stu-pid! yells my big brother, Anthony, who’s four years older than me. Move it or you’ll miss the bus!

    I never let it slide when Anthony calls me stupid. The very least I do is tell Mom. But this time, I don’t say a word. I don’t move. I don’t get dressed. I don’t go downstairs.

    It’s Wednesday, French toast day. The middle-of-the-school-week day, when Mom makes a special breakfast.

    Mom walks into my room. What’s going on, Stuey? she asks.

    Stomachache, I say in my whiniest voice. I’m too sick to go to school.

    She puts her hand on my forehead. She gives me the real once-over. You don’t have a fever. You look fine. Get dressed and come downstairs. Your French toast is getting cold.

    I eat three pieces of French toast. I know it doesn’t look good for someone with a stomachache. But I can’t help it, Mom makes the best French toast. Maybe she won’t notice.

    I guess your stomach must be feeling better, says Mom.

    Oh well. Maybe if I eat another piece, I’ll really get sick.

    Come on, Stu, says Anthony. We have to get going. We don’t want to miss the bus.

    But of course I want to miss the bus. I’ll do anything to miss it. I’ll clean my room. I’ll clean Anthony’s room. I’ll even clean the whole house. Bingo! That’s it! Mom’s always wanted a housecleaner.

    Hey, Mom! How about if I stay home today? I’ll clean the whole house for you.

    She rolls her eyes.

    First it was a stomachache, and now you want to clean the house? She feels my forehead again. Maybe you’re sick after all.

    I try to look as green as possible.

    Okay, Stuey, what’s going on? she asks.

    I’m sick of school, I tell her.

    Anthony snorts. Hey, Stupi— He catches himself just in time. How can you be sick of school? It’s only our third day.

    I decide not to tell the truth. How can I tell them my awful secret? How can I tell them, I’ve been in second grade for two whole days and I’m still wicked slow at reading. Everyone said the lightbulb would go on by now. It’s bad enough it didn’t happen last year or over the summer. But if the kids figure out I’m still no good at it, or even worse the teacher does, I’m toast.

    Last call for the bus, Bro, says Anthony. And he pulls me out the door.

    *   *   *

    I walk into my classroom. It’s actually full of very cool stuff. A person could have a lot of fun in here. If that person already knew how to read.

    My teacher, Ms. Curtis, is writing the morning message. She wants us to call her Ginger. Mom thinks that’s very modern. I think it’s dumb. We’re the first class she’s ever taught. She says we have a lot to learn from each other. And she wants us all to be good friends. If she was my good friend, I could tell her my secret. But she’s
