Illustrated by
Amy Wummer.
The president of the United States pays a surprise visit to Marvin's class on "hole day," when everyone, including Marvin's teacher, is wearing ripped clothes and shoes with toes sticking out. Nevertheless, Marvin and his classmates manage to make a favorable impression on the Commander in Chief. As in all the Marvin Redpost books, Sachar humorously demonstrates his understanding of how kids think and speak.
