Owen Foote is the smallest kid in second grade, and he is tired of being teased about it. His best friend Joseph has a worry of his own: the school height-and-weight check is coming, and he does not want anyone making fun of his body either. The closer the dreaded day gets, the bigger their fears feel. Owen wants to be strong, but being strong may not mean having big muscles or being tall. This thoughtful, funny chapter book treats body worries, school embarrassment, and friendship with a light but caring touch. Young readers will understand Owen's wish to look brave and his growing need to stand up for someone else when teasing goes too far.
