Features: The "Grimace Series" novels are as "a book locked in a drawer, never to be opened by parents." The protagonist, Grimace Star, is a child with a vivid personality. He is smart, quick-witted, unwilling to follow the rules, and has a playful nature, always having his own opinions. On the surface, he seems like a problem child, but in reality, it is children like Grimace Star who are more adaptable. Liu Yiran, Qiao Yuting, Su Xiaobing, Xiaohendou, Li Mengtao, and others are all familiar figures among classmates. This is a cool novel full of the spirit of contemporary children, yet it also retains its social educational significance. The author subtly weaves in some educational concepts into the novel's content, which serves as an enjoyable learning experience for children. Adults who read it find it endlessly engaging, with each chapter leaving a rich and lingering impression, as if they have relived their own childhood in a different way. A new foreign student, Luo Ben, quickly becomes close friends with everyone and is often asked by teachers to answer questions. Grimace Star feels deeply and determined to challenge Luo Ben. Grimace Star and Luo Ben join the school's "Skateboard Dream Team" and, in the final competition, form a doubles team to compete, ultimately winning the championship. As a result, Grimace Star and Luo Ben become best friends with nothing left unsaid.
