Worst Surprise Ever (Brianna Banana #2)

Description

Brianna Banana has the best secret in the history of Grade 3: she knows she is Helper of the Day!

But when Miss Dee, a new substitute teacher, takes over her class and doesn't know anything about Helper of the Day, all Brianna's hopes are dashed. Soon she's in trouble for yelling and the principal is giving her another lecture. But when a fire drill is called and Brianna uses her fire drill experience to make sure both Miss Dee and her classmate Rumi make it safely outside, Brianna learns that there is more than one way to be the Helper of the Day!

★ "Reminiscent of Junie B. Jones. Well-meaning Brianna's smart narration relates her struggles coping with family upheaval, bullying, and frequent communication snafus and misunderstandings with adults as well as her yearning for a best friend. Grayscale illustrations by Ogawa evoke Raina Telgemeier vibes and bring funny scenes of this charming read by Button to vivid life."--Publishers Weekly, starred review for Brianna Banana, Helper of the Day
