One week. One prize. Seven really weird challenges.The kids at Benjamin Banneker College Prep are a little competitive. Okay. Theyre a LOT competitive.The minute Principal Yee announces an epic competition for the golden BB trophy, seventhgrader Frederick Douglass Zezzmer knows he has to win.But it wont be easy. The competition doesnt just include science, technology, engineering and math. It also has arts and sports. Not Dougs best subjects.Even worse, its a TEAM competition. Instead of being in a superstar group, Doug gets paired with four middle school misfits no one else wants.Worst of all, Dougs dad has a horrible backup plan. If Doug doesnt win, he has to forget about becoming The Worlds Greatest Inventor and spend the summer in sports camp, with his scary stepbrother.With only a week to go, Doug launches a quest to turn his team of outcasts into winners and maybe even friends.P R A I S E? 'Thomas strews the increasingly suspenseful competition with teachable moments and traces learning curves not only for the students but for teachers and parents, too. Reminiscent of E. L. Konigsburgs The View from Saturday.'Booklist (starred)'Creative and hilarious...the novels narration shifts among many perspectives, giving a rich, panoramic view of how stressful yet ultimately rewarding these learning experiences are for the overachievers, the socially awkward, the kids with complicated home lives, and all those who just need to see each other a little differently.'Kirkus'...Witty competition drama... a telling that prioritizes characters interiority as well as their impact on each others lives. While Dougs determined voice is the primary focus, the rotating narratives showcase each of the racially diverse characters individual stressors, delivering a wellrounded accounting that is better for its multiplicity.'Publishers Weekly
