A hilarious new middle grade novel from beloved and bestselling author
Gordon Korman about what happens when the worst class of kids in school
is paired with the worst teacher--perfect for fans of Ms. Bixby's Last
Day. A good choice for summer reading or anytime!
The Unteachables are a notorious class of misfits, delinquents, and
academic train wrecks. Like Aldo, with anger management issues; Parker,
who can't read; Kiana, who doesn't even belong in the class--or any
class; and Elaine (rhymes with pain). The Unteachables have been removed
from the student body and isolated in room 117.
Their teacher is Mr. Zachary Kermit, the most burned-out teacher in all
of Greenwich. He was once a rising star, but his career was shattered by
a cheating scandal that still haunts him. After years of phoning it in,
he is finally one year away from early retirement. But the
superintendent has his own plans to torpedo that idea--and it involves
assigning Mr. Kermit to the Unteachables.
The Unteachables never thought they'd find a teacher who had a worse
attitude than they did. And Mr. Kermit never thought he would actually
care about teaching again. Over the course of a school year, though,
room 117 will experience mayhem, destruction--and maybe even a shot at
redemption.
