No Longer a Nobody Author:Matilda Nordtvedt What can a boy do for the school pet show if he lives in an apartment and can’t have pets? Sammy finds an answer and grows in mind and spirit in the process. As children read their first novel they develop skill in retaining facts and ideas carried over to successive chapters.
A kid-sized novel from the A Beka Christian series, intended for use in the 2nd Grade (or equivalent reading level!). A great story about REAL self-worth.
Main character is Sammy, who when the book opens feels he is a "nobody." Sammy comes up with a plan to dazzle the kids in his class during a pet contest, but he has no pet. Read about Sammy and his surprise pet, Slowpoke. By the end, between Slowpoke and God, Sammy no longer feels like a nobody.
