Welcome to the Harvey N. Trouble Elementary School, where you will experience a week in the life of an exceptional group of characters. There’s the principal, Miss Ingashoe, and her secretary, Ms. Cecelia Seeyalater; teachers Mr. Hugh da Mann and Mrs. Doremi Fasollatido; and students Abby Birthday, Sid Down, Viola Fuss, Dewey Haveto, and many more!
This heavily illustrated, full-color, fabulously designed young chapter book is a must-have, back-to-school title that chronicles the very simple story of Ron Faster—as he learns some important lessons about life—during his adventures on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in a most unusual school.
GEORGE BOOTH has been drawing cartoons for publications like the New Yorker and the New York Times for more than thirty years. He also illustrates children’s books like this one. He lives on Long Island with his wife, Dione, who is not missing a shoe or an orange wig. He has said that no matter how old he gets, he never wants to stop trying new things—even if one of those things is a beanie weenie on a bun.
KATE MCMULLAN has written more than 100 books for children. Yes, that’s 100! She has said that when she writes, she thinks back to her grade-school days—“the yucky lunches” and “the torture of gym class for the non-athletic.” But she can’t remember a time when her bus got stuck in a ditch or if she ever had a cat named Moose. Though she does have one named George. . . .
“A playful, silly read that will draw young readers with its lighthearted humor.” –Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“If silly homonyms please you, you'll love a week with Chuckie Upkins, Gladys Friday, Iona Tricycle and more.” –The Chicago Tribune
“Booth’s great cartoon illustrations add whimsy and pure fun to every page, a quality that, when paired with McMullan’s simple, quirky story, may well draw in reluctant readers. This is a good chapter book for children who enjoy the visual stimulation of well-done graphics.” –School Library Journal
“If 30 Rock were set in an elementary school, one suspects it would resemble this loopy, breakneck comedy.” –Publishers Weekly
