Reach for this book when your middle schooler is feeling frustrated by arbitrary rules or when they are struggling to find common ground with adults. This hilariously relatable story follows Wallace Wallace, a football star who is banned from the team because he refuses to lie about his hatred for a classic, depressing school book where the dog dies. While serving detention in the drama department, Wallace brings his signature honesty to the school play, unexpectedly transforming it into a rock-and-roll sensation. It is a perfect pick for children aged 8 to 12 who value integrity and humor. Through Wallace's journey, the book explores the nuances of honesty, the importance of teamwork, and the courage it takes to challenge the status quo. It is an excellent conversation starter for families to discuss why we tell 'white lies' and whether being right is always the same as being kind.
