About this title: On the first day of school, Suds wishes he could still be in the third grade where, according to school tradition, he would be a "Third Grade Angel" rather than a "Fourth Grade Rat." In order to be a true fourth grader, Suds is now supposed to not being afraid of spiders, not cry, push the younger kids off the swings, and say "no" to his mother. Is this really what being a true fourth grader is all about?

"Spinelli's novel is about the collective shift in thinking taking place in fourth grade, concerning maturation, leaving the baby-ish things behind and trying to put on a persona of "grown-up". It left me a little cold, however, just a bit too contrived and too sparse for convincing character development."
"This book is a great example of that trait of voice! There were even a couple of times that I laughed out loud it was so funny! It was kind of sad that Suds Morton decide to be a follwer and follow what his best friend Joey was doing. Espeically just to get a girl! And Judy Billings only liked the boys who would risk themselves for attention - only the popular ones. If I were Suds, I wouldn't like a girl like that at all! I'm glad he finally realized he doesn't have to be a rat just because he's in fourth grade. I'm also glad that Joey realized he should not have been pushing Suds into doing those mean things."
