Julius is excited about his first day in the 5th grade. He has trouble getting along with his classmates. He is jealous of a girl named Beatrice Willingham because she keeps bragging about her life. It takes time before he realizes that he has to cope with other people and that other people's lives don't revolve around him.

This is a good, quick read.

I read Meet Julius Carmichael by Jonathan Carroll.  The book is mainly about Julius and his first day of school.   The problem Julius has is that a new girl named Beatrice completes her math quiz in 35 seconds.  It takes Julius 15 seconds to complete his.  They get into a big argument because Julius approaches Beatrice to ask her if she needs help with her math.  Beatrice becomes angry.  At the end they make up and try to be friends. 

I recommend this book to little kids and would give this book a "7" because it is short, but good.
