The Year of Billy Miller Part 4 - Chapter 2

Right before the end of summer vacation, 7-year-old Billy Miller hits his head, causing him to start second grade with a lump on his head. Billy is not worried until he overhears worrying that he may become forgetful later in life because of his fall. Billy begins to worry that his mom's concerns will become reality and that he is not smart enough for second grade. He thinks he needs to do more than is expected to succeed. As the school year goes by, Billy learns to navigate second grade to the best of his ability. He also starts to appreciate his hard working mother and father and his sister, whom he learns to treat with more respect.
