So what if Stuey isn't the world's best reader, is only allowed to trick or treat around one block, doesn't get to play on his soccer dream team, and has to put up with the most annoying girl on the planet. Somehow Stuey always makes life work and when he puts his mind to it, he can survive anything--even second grade. This hilarious collection of linked short stories, interspersed with sprightly line drawings, marks an impressive chapter book debut.

Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Wayside School will love this first book in a new, off-the-wall middle grade series about two boys--one with the heart of a lion and the test scores of a baked potato, the other a shy boy genius in a bunny suit--finding their strengths and true friendship.Sixth-grader Alley Katz is innocently trying to help a bunch of kindergarteners when the burrito hits the fan. Literally. A burrito. A ceiling fan. A hail of beans. Now he has to get an A on his science test or he'll be transferred to the dreaded Steggles Academy. An A seems impossible! Alley is kind, intrepid, and well-liked, but for some reason he doesn't get graded on any of that. So the principal assigns a peer mentor to help: Rex, a fourth-grade genius who wears a bunny suit. Alley is totally in favor of both bunnies and fourth graders, but he doesn't need Rex. He has his own foolproof plan to ace the test. Still, Rex is determined to fulfill his duty as Alley's mentor--and he may need some help of his own. One boy needs to stay in school, the other needs to get through it. Can this odd couple save the day--and each other?

It's the ultimate challenge: breaking into the Ivy League.

The hack:

To get one deadbeat, fully unqualified slacker into the most prestigious school in the country.

The crew:

Eric Roth -- the good guy, the voice of reason.

Max Kim -- the player who made the bet in the first place.

Schwartz -- the kid genius already on the inside...of Harvard, that is.

Lexi -- the beauty-queen valedictorian who insists on getting in the game.

The plan:

Use only the most undetectable schemes and techno-brilliant skills. Don't break the Hacker's Code. Don't get distracted. Don't get caught. Take down someone who deserves it.

The stakes:

A lot higher than they think.

They've got the players, the plot, and soon -- the prize.

It's go time.

Eers wil ek iets net baie duidelik maak: Hierdie is 'n Joernaal en nie 'n dagboek nie. Ek weet wat dit op die omslag se, maar toe Ma hierdie ding gaan koop het, het ek spesifiek gevra om een te kry waarop daar nie "dagboek" staan nie. Die enigste rede hoekom ek enigsins ja gese het vir die ding, is sodat ek dit eendag kan gebruik as ek ryk en beroemd is. Maar nou is ek eers vasgekeer tussen 'n klomp morone.
