Claudia's Friend — Ann M. Martin

Ciaudia's in big trouble at school. If she fails one more English test, she's not going to pass the class. No one seems to understand how hard it is for Claudia to do well.

No one except Shea Rodowsky. Shea has a learning problem, which makes schoolwork extra frustrating for him. Shea hates feeling stupid just as much as Claudia does. But together, they're going to show those teachers just how smart they can be!
