Les Desirable: Kick Butts (Middle School Book 5)
Description
I'm Les Desirable. Don't laugh. That's my real name. And Principal Butcher won't let me forget it. I'm a world-famous news reporter. While most kids my age are breaking wind, I'm always looking for breaking news. WHACK! I get smacked in the face with Tuffus Nails' sweaty jockstrap. AGAIN! I hate gym class. They call it 'PE'-but only because the letters 'PU' are taken! We have a crisis at Greenville Middle School. Coach Butts is demanding that we learn THE CHICKEN DANCE. I can't dance. I'm DOOMED! To get my mind off school, I go to a basketball game with my cousin, Bo Teak. He's the COOL kid with HOT WHEELS! When he's selected to make a free throw from center court, everyone panics. After all, you know that Bo Teak is in a wheelchair, don't you? If he makes the basket, he'll win big bucks. But if he misses, he'll be a big loser. I'm closing my eyes. I can't watch. Tell me what happens, okay? Les Desirable: Kick Butts is a funny and entertaining story for children ages 9 - 12, middle school students, and adults who are still young at heart.
