First Day Jitters

About First Day Jitters

It’s the first day of school and Sarah Jane Hartwell doesn’t want to go. She refuses to get out of bed, her stomach hurts, and her hands are cold and clammy.  Even meeting the principal doesn’t make her feel better.  Young readers will sympathize as they follow Sarah Jane’s reluctant journey to her new classroom
