Ebooks Online

Zack Delacruz is unnoticed at his middle school—and that’s just the way he likes it. But a school assembly, a typhoon of spit, and an uncharacteristic moment of bravery are all it takes to change everything. Suddenly Zack is in charge of the class fundraiser. Worse, his partner is the school’s biggest bully! If they don’t sell all the chocolate bars, there will be no dance for the sixth grade. Zack never wanted to be a hero, but with his classmates’ hopes on the line, can he save the day?

The SkinnyZach Delacruz is one pretty cool kid, although he doesn’t think so. In fact, he would rather melt into the floor vents than make himself known…except he screws up that concept with his big mouth trying to defend a fellow student from being bullied, and somehow winds up nominating himself as the head of the sixth grade fundraiser. See, sixth graders have never been able to attend the dance in the history of Davy Crockett Middle School, and if Zach and El Pollo Loco can get all the chocolate bars sold, they’re in! Zach soon discovers that he is leading this project on his own, and must use all his resources – and questionable classmates – to get it done.The PlayersZach DelacruzMarquis MaloneJanie BustamanteEl Pollo LocoCliché JonesSophia SeguraSteven RamirezThe Quote“Zach?”“Yeah?” I looked up at the spinning ceiling fan.“Do you ever get nervous around girls?”“I get nervous around everybody.”The Highs and Lows+ Humor. Jeff Anderson knows how to write humor, and he knows how to write middle grades. Being in the profession where he works closely with teachers, he hits the nail on the head for middle school mentality.+ Friendship. Middle school is tough to be somebody, to be anybody. It’s hard to be an individual and stand out and yet blend in. Zach starts out with one main man, Marquis, and slowly his crew grows a little larger as he leads the sixth grade class fundraiser.+ Zach. Zach is a kind kid who does the right thing, even if it lands him in the hot water of the middle school sharks. He puts his neck on the line for Janie and winds up in charge of the sixth grade fundraiser.
