The Dunderheads
Author(s): Paul Fleischman
Dunderheads, unite! A tyrannical teacher gets her just due in a delightfullysubversive, outrageously funny tale by Newbery Medal winner Paul Fleischman. Miss Breakbone hates kids. Especially the time-squandering, mindwandering, doodling, dozing dunderheads in her class. But when she confiscates Junkyard s crucial fi nd, she fi nally goes too far. Enter Wheels (and his souped-up bike with forty-eight extra gears), Pencil (who can draw anything from memory), Spider (look up and you ll fi nd him), and their fellow misfi ts in a spectacular display of teamwork aimed at teaching Miss Breakbone a lesson she won t soon forget. From the incomparable Paul Fleischman comes a winning cast of underdogs and one of the most terrifying teachers you ll ever meet brought to vivid life in David Roberts s quirky, hilarious illustrations."
