About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit into the model of a perfect student or when they are struggling to navigate the chaotic social dynamics of a group. It is an ideal choice for kids who feel misunderstood by authority figures or who need to see that even a disorganized, rowdy group can achieve something great when they stop bickering and start looking out for one another. The story follows the self proclaimed worst fifth grade class in history on a high stakes field trip to the mansion of an eccentric inventor. Amidst the slapstick humor and wild antics, the book explores themes of teamwork, shared responsibility, and the realization that everyone has a hidden strength to contribute. It is perfectly pitched for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a fast paced, hilarious read that validates the messy reality of middle grade friendships while modeling how to turn a disaster into a triumph through collaboration.
