Can Shermy survive the new kid in school?

Shermy is thrilled when his teacher asks him to be a buddy to the yet-to-arrive new kid. But his joy balloon pops when he meets the not-so-new kid: his neighbor’s grandson, Shake. As he had over the summer, Shake messes up Shermy’s plans, this time to be a second grade Leader. The boys’ friendship is off-and-on again until a bit of news helps Shermy see Shake in a new light.
