In his third outing, Justin faces the beginning of fourth grade with his usual trepidation. Despite his intentions to worry less, he is quickly overwhelmed by the challenges of fourth grade: the work is harder, there is more of it, and the teachers are more demanding. The biggest problem? Justin's developing friendship with new kid Cash has turned his old friend Noah against him. Series readers will be familiar with the ultrashort chapters, written as angsty entries in Justin's diary. Silly line drawings by Cordell are inserted throughout and do much to lighten the tone and reinforce the humor.

Justin finds more to worry about in fourth grade when new kid Cash moves in and best friend forever Noah feels slighted. Balancing everyone's feelings, being true to himself, and getting himself out of "huge kerfuffles" once again makes Justin impossibly endearing--his mom, too (even when she's on his "Things I Hate" list). Cordell's sketches are perfectly suited to the diary format.
