The Principal's Son

A chapter book for kids age 8-10 (Kindle)

Peter Brantwill is shy. Very shy. He’s the quietest fifth-grader at Birch Ridge

Elementary School. Peter just blends into the crowd, never does anything to

draw attention. Attention is the last thing he wants. But when his father becomes the principal of his school,

Peter’s whole world is suddenly turned upside down.

Students tease him. Kids he doesn’t know stare at him in the hallways. Teachers treat

him differently. And then there’s Darren Kalder, the troublemaker who torments

Peter.

Things turn even worse when Peter and Darren are paired up for a homework assignment—they must prepare a fictitious

petition. They decide on a petition to reinstate recess at their school. And what starts out as a simple homework

assignment turns into much more when their classmates ask to sign the petition.

It’s up to Peter and Darren to follow through and present the petition to the

school committee. But this involves speaking at a televised public meeting. And when Darren backs out at the last minute, Peter must decide whether to back out…or make a bold move that will forever change

him.
