Details

Montgomery Gerald Morris has a nickname (Monty), a birthday (August 15), and asthma (he uses an inhaler). He doesn't have a brother (or a sister), a pet (bad for the asthma), or a best friend (or any real friends at all). "It seemed to Monty that it would be more fun and more interesting to be someone else." Then again, who else but Monty could read such great library books, care for a pet caterpillar, or start a kangaroo fan club? Black-and-white illustrations.

It also means he can’t have a pet with fur. Sometimes Monty wishes he were someone else. But when Monty starts first grade, he begins to discover some things he is good at. He is the best reader in his class, and his teacher has said he can check out any book in the library—not just picture books. He is good at noticing things, like a little caterpillar he can keep as a pet, or like the old wagon, books, and games his neighbor is going to throw away. And Monty is good at organizing a new club and finding people to join. In the end, Monty finds happiness in being himself. Topics Asthma. Inhalers. Limitations. Emergencies. School. Being nervous.
