Book Summary

Jake Drake is a second-grade boy who loves to share everything he knows, often blurting out answers in class. This makes him seem like a 'know-it-all' to his classmates and teacher. Through a science project with a quiet but smart partner named Judy, Jake learns the importance of listening, teamwork, and how to share his knowledge in a way that helps others, rather than just showing off.
