Excellent; kids that age can identify with Richard

I read this about 11 yrs back in 4th grade. I could relate to it because the school gym at my school had a climbing rope, too. This story helps kids to face their everyday fears. RIchard learns a lot about himself and even about the school's "mean" sub, who helps Richard face his fears!
