Meet Julius Carmichael

Julius Carmichael is an eleven year-old boy who is all set for his first day of school. His sneakers, clothes, and teacher are all new, and he cannot be any more excited. He studied his math facts all summer, and he is ready to go. When he meets his new classmate, Beatrice Willingham, things take a turn for the worst. Julius becomes a victim of his own mischievous behavior, and is left to pick up the pieces of what was supposed to be the best day of the year.
