Ready? Okay! It's time for school at the brand new Curiosity Academy, and there's a certain third grade classroom that stands out from the rest. It's got a cool teacher named Mrs. Z, who wears high-tops and science earrings, and is full of unique classmates from all over Peppermint Falls, who all have a secret.

Emma just wants to makes friends at her new school, but an old friend-turned-enemy might ruin her chance at a fresh start. Rohan opens a pet care company to raise money for a school garden, but it's hard to care for pets when you've never done it before and might be a little afraid of them! Poppy tries out a new candy recipe for her class, but she's distracted by her grandma, who's suddenly forgetting things she used to know by heart. Memo is thrilled to be going to a sci-fi fantasy convention with his friend, but his Spanish-speaking abuela has to take them there and Memo doesn't speak Spanish. In a crowded space with no way to talk to each other, nothing could go wrong, right? Wyatt usually keeps to himself and chats with his best friend, Lizzie, who happens to be a stuffed lizard. But as he's growing older, is it still okay for him to bring Lizzie to school? What if someone sees? And lastly, when Mrs. Z's class is getting ready for a variety show, Ayana, who likes blending into the background, is having enough trouble deciding what she could perform center stage when she realizes her loud, bad-joke-telling, all-eyes-on-me dad is a variety show volunteer! Will she ever figure out her performance when she's feeling this embarrassed by her dad?

Join the kids in Mrs. Z's class in these six exciting tales of friendship and family, which can be read in any order you choose!
  • Emma McKenna, Full Out
  • Rohan Murthy Has a Plan
  • Poppy Song Bakes a Way
  • The Legend of Memo Castillo
  • Wyatt Hill's Best Friend Is a Lizard
  • Ayana Ndoum Takes the Stage
