Coming Across Jordan — Mabel Elizabeth Singletary

Jordan and Kevin are the new kids in school. When Melanie comes across Jordan and Kevin, she becomes interested in getting to know them, especially Kevin. Kevin is her age and is a good big brother to Jordan, who seems different than other kindergarteners.

Kevin is anxious ot make a good impression on his teachers, take care of Jordan and make new friends. When it looks like Kevin is becoming fast friends with Curtis, Melanie becomes worried because Curtis is always in trouble.

When Curtis involves Kevin in a serious prank, both boys find themselves in detention. They serve it in Mrs. Blake's room, which is Jordan's classroom and where Melanie is a helper. Can Curtis manage to stay out of trouble and be a good friend to Kevin? Will Melanie figure out what it is about Jordan that makes him different?
