The Fourth-Grade Four — Marilyn Levinson

Fourth grade is supposed to be Alex Burman's best year ever. He's on the soccer team, and he's sworn a pact of friendship and adventure with his two best friends. He feels important. But then he finds out that he has to get glasses. And that might mean the end of his soccer career -- and his friendships!

Alex works on a plan. He'll get the glasses and his mother will stop nagging him. But he won't wear them. It's simple! Or is it?
