Part of Middle School, book 12
First published 2020
Rafe and Jimmy have finally found their chance to do something right. The two boys, known more for causing trouble than solving it, are running a massive book celebration. They want to prove they can handle responsibility and show everyone what they're really capable of. But what starts as a minor hiccup quickly grows into a major crisis that could destroy the entire event. Time is running out, and they need to fix things fast. Fortunately, they don't have to face this disaster alone. Jamie Grimm arrives with his comedy skills, along with Jacky Ha-Ha and her quick wit. The brilliant Kidd family brings their treasure hunting expertise, while super-genius Max Einstein applies her scientific mind to the problems. Together, this unlikely team of young heroes must work through their differences and combine their unique talents. The celebration becomes a test of friendship, teamwork, and whether kids who are usually misunderstood can step up when it really matters.
