# The Boy Who Failed Dodgeball - Hardcover

by **Jordan Sonnenblick** (Author), **Marta Kissi** (Illustrator)

**Sixth grade is the worst... and also the best, as Jordan rides the ups and downs of middle-school life in hilarious fashion.**

Funny, outrageous things didn't stop for Jordan Sonnenblick after he left fourth grade. No, in many ways the events detailed to hilarious effect in _The Boy Who Failed Show and Tell_ were but a prelude to sixth grade, a time when Jordan would have to deal with...

\-- A rival named Jiminy (his real name is Jimmy -- but, hey, he looks like a cricket)

\-- A stickler English teacher who doesn't care that all the old, worn copies of _Great Expectations_ smell like puke

\-- An Evel Knievel obsession

\-- A first crush on a girl from band

\-- An assistant principal who brands Jordan a repeat offender... on his first day (If you want to know why, you have to read the book. A tooth is involved.)

\-- A continued reckoning with both anxiety and asthma

\-- And more!
