All New Jonah Twist — Natalie Honeycutt

Jonah had made up his mind. He was turning over a new leaf. He was sick and tired of being called slow ... inattentive ... easily distracted. And he was really sick of being compared to his obnoxious older brother, “Mr. Perfect.” Third grade was going to be the beginning of an all new Jonah Twist--the fastest, best, most responsible eight-year-old ever.

Then, the very first day, he runs up against Granville Jones. The little runt was about half Jonah's size and a hundred times meaner. Granville knew every trick in the book for making Jonah's life miserable--and he used them all! But then Jonah came up with an all new idea for getting even with Granville. And that was the beginning of a really all new Jonah Twist!
