Adam is a talented fourth grader who would much rather be drawing amazing pictures in his sketchbook or playing sports outside than sitting at a desk. Because Adam is dyslexic, he has to work extra hard to learn how to read and write. When the teacher announces that it is time for the Big Test at school, Adam becomes a nervous wreck. The upcoming test involves writing a long essay, and even when Adam knows all the right answers, taking tests makes him freeze up. He starts to worry that he might fail, have to repeat the fourth grade, or that his classmates will think he is not smart. Luckily, Adam has a great support system. He turns to his three closest friends in their special club, the Worry Warriors. With their encouragement, Adam works to conquer his test anxiety, discover his own strengths, and prove just how smart he truly is.
