A 2014 Newbery Honor Book
A New York Times Bestseller
Award-winning， nationally bestselling author Kevin Henkes introduces second-grader Billy Miller in this fast-paced and funny story about friendship， sibling rivalry， and elementary school. The Year of Billy Miller includes black-and-white art by Kevin Henkes and is perfect for fans of the Ramona books; Frindle， by Andrew Clements; and the Clementine series.
The New York Times declared： "Henkes''s delightful story is restrained and vivid . . . forgoing the overdramatic or zany， it shows the substance， warmth and adaptability of beautifully common family love." When Billy Miller has a mishap at the statue of the Jolly Green Giant at the end of summer vacation， he ends up with a big lump on his head. What a way to start second grade， with a lump on your head! As the year goes by， though， Billy figures out how to navigate elementary school， how to appreciate his little sister， and how to be a more grown up and responsible member of the family and a help to his busy working mom and stay-at-home dad. Newbery Honor author and Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes delivers a short， satisfying， laugh-out-loud-funny school and family story that features a diorama homework assignment， a school poetry slam， cancelled sleepovers， and epic sibling temper tantrums. This is a perfect short novel for the early elementary grades.
