My Sometimes Pal

    Franky is up to his ‘ol pranks again! In My Sometimes Pal, Peter tries hard to understand why Franky bullies him in front of their pals. Sometimes, Franky is a good friend. But that never lasts long, and Peter always ends up in trouble. Even worse, he looks foolish!

    In a farm year filled with adventure and discovery, Peter learns ‘growing up’ lessons about friendship, responsibility and loss. Natural disasters, a new baby in the family and showing his sheep at the country fair help Peter understand his family and friends. When his teacher, Miss Bishop, comes to stay a spell with his family, life is good. But Peter soon learns that all things change…and not always for the better. Through it all, Franky is never far from his mind. What will he do next? And why does he make fun of Peter only when their pals are around?

    My Sometimes Pal, the second book in the Belden Series, continues the adventures of a young farm boy living in the 1800’s Mississippi Valley. Geared to primary and intermediate-grade students, the Belden Series helps children work through contemporary bullying issues and learn about rural life and dialect in the 1800’s.
