Book Excerpt:

There I stood, hiding next to the vending machines, disguised as a potted plant. I brushed the plastic leaves from my face and stared down the hallway toward the front double doors. Snow Cone always said one day this ridiculous costume would come in handy.

Fifteen minutes had passed since the last student left for the buses, but I wasn’t about to take any chances. Not with my life hanging in the balance. Leaning forward, I peered around the corner just as the sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway. Was this it? Could this be him? Was I about to be pulverized by Hambone while wearing an emergency disguise I had just pulled from my locker?

My Review:

This book is WONDERFUL!

I LOVED the humor!

This book has a lot of creativity to it and kept me reading to know what was going to happen next.

I really enjoyed seeing the world through the eyes of a kid again and all the trauma that happens in school and on the playground :)

This is a perfect book to read alone OR together as a family OR in a classroom!
