INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Williams, Maiya

Middle-School Cool

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Karl Edwards. The journalism students of unconventional Kaboom Academy investigate the school's mysterious founder for answers to unexplained phenomena such as flying dodgeballs, hypnotherapy detentions, and a potion-brewing lunch lady. The could-be stock characters show unexpected depth, while the oddball environment, humor, and mystery make this a perfect fit for fans of Wayside School stories. Cartoon spot art adds verve.
