Donavan thought that fourth grade would be his best year ever. Instead, it's turning out to be nothing but trouble.

In addition to failing math, Donavan's beloved Uncle Vic returns from overseas combat as a paraplegic. Everyone else is happy that he's safe at home, but all Donavan feels is uncomfortable and sad.

From the author of Donavan's Word Jar comes an inspiring story that explores what it means to be a hero.

"As with Donavan's Word Jar (1994), the fast, funny dialogue between friends and the warm family relationships will draw readers to the realistic story, which will be great for reading aloud."--Booklist
