For fans of Gordon Korman and Jack Gantos comes the ultimate,
middle-grade redemption story, where losers are the real winners.
Forest Shade Middle School is the losing-est school in the history of
losing. And that's just fine for Luke Abbott, who'd rather be at home
playing video games and avoiding his older brother Rob and the Greatest
Betrayal of All Time.
But now he's being forced to join the robotics team and spend his
afternoons with Mikayla, the girl who does everything with her toes;
Jacob and Jacob, who aren't twins but might as well be; the sunflower
seed-obsessed Stuart; and Missy the Cruel, Luke's innocent-looking bully
since they were six-years-old. But it's an unlikely connection with a
mysterious boy known only as "Lunchbox Jones that will change Luke's
life. When Lunchbox Jones' blue tin goes missing, followed by the boy
himself, Luke races to find his new friend in time to save their team!
