Hobie Grows Up

Setting - this story takes place in the woods of Wisconsin during the winter. Character - the main character is Hobie Hanson. At the beginning Hobie is shy, very organized and doesn't know how to have fun. At the end he has learned how to have fun and not be so shy. Summary - Class 4B earned a trip to Outdoor Ed where Hobie got homesick. He tried to call his parents late one night, but bumped into Miss Ivanavitch in the dark. She told him he couldn't call because his father was in the hospital. Hobie stays and changes his attitude and turns out to have a great time! At the end he had fun because he tried new things and wasn't so shy. A fourth grader at Springdale Elementary
