    Elena Vermeer wrote 4th Grade of Excitement when she herself was in the 4th grade, and 5th Grade Freak-out and 6th Grade Sound Wave in the following two years. She attends a girls’ school (although it’s not a boarding school), and has found much delight in the school stories of Enid Blyton, to which these books pay homage.

      Chapter 1 – Good and Bad News

      Summer holidays were always the best of holidays. The weather was dominated by the gentle warmth of the California sun, and tennis and swimming were very agreeable activities.

      Lizboa Gordon, a sporty girl, was truly enjoying herself. She was staying with her good friends – Alice, a shrewd, hot-tempered girl, Evelyn, a gentle and sweet girl who was always ready to think well of people, and Alexis, a sunny, good-tempered girl. They were sisters – the Bringham-Joneses. She had known them for a year now – ever since she joined McJone’s Foundry school at the beginning of 5th Grade. A pang of sorrow stung her when the name of her past school came to her mind. Yes – her past school! Lizboa, along with the sisters, had already graduated from McJone’s.

      A wave of shouting awoke Lizboa from her meditation. The Bringham-Jones sisters came running breathlessly to Lizboa, crying, Oh, Lizboa, Lizboa! Wait till you hear our news!

      Lizboa jumped from her bench and approached the sisters. She didn’t even have time to ask what the commotion was about before they blurted out joyously, Our school choir is going to represent our state and school to compete in the Children’s Choir Tournament in China – Beijing, specifically. Our school normally doesn’t have girls studying up to 6th grade, but for this special event, the four of us and Baixue were selected from all the others to compete in the choir! We’re to go in spring!

      Lizboa gave a squeal of intense delight, but then a look of curiosity filled her face. But then aren’t we being held back a year?

      No, silly, said Alexis. In this state, schools can choose between providing 6 years of Elementary school and 2 years of junior high school, or 5 years of Elementary school and 3 years of junior high school. Our school follows the latter curriculum. When we go back, we will follow the schedule for the former curriculum for one year, and then we will be equipped properly for going to the second year of junior high school next year with the others of our age.

      I see, said Lizboa. Let me read the letter. Alice handed her the sheet of paper, and Lizboa scanned it quickly. She suddenly frowned dismally. I’m sorry, but I can’t go. The trip to Beijing is far too expensive for my family to be able to afford.

      The other three exchanged glances of disappointment and grief. Then Alexis said, You do sing beautifully, Lizboa. Are you sure there isn’t a way for you to go?

      Well, said Evelyn softly. Maybe Daddy can pay for you. I’m sure he’d be willing to.

      Lizboa shook her head, fighting tears. I do thank you for your generous offer, she said, But it just isn’t decent for me to accept.

      Just come and ask Daddy, insisted Alice.

      I said I wouldn’t accept, Alice, replied Lizboa. It won’t make any difference whether you make the offer or your father. Just give me some space.

      The others shot her sorrowful looks, and went away, crestfallen. Lizboa retreated to the porch, her head buried in her hands.

      Meanwhile, Alexis, Evelyn and Alice discussed the
