In this terrific debut, a Brooklyn middle-schooler finds the superhero within himself thanks to old friends, new dreams, and a pair of magical "Dora the Explorer" sneakers. Ever since a deeply unfortunate incident earlier this year, Reggie's been known as "Pukey" McKnight at his high-intensity Brooklyn middle school. He wants to turn his image around, but he has other things on his mind as well: his father, who's out of a job; his best friends, Ruthie and Joe C.; his former best friend Donovan, who's now become a jerk; and of course, the beautiful Mialonie. The elections for school president are coming up, but with his notorious nickname and "nothing" social status, Reggie wouldn't stand a chance, if he even had the courage to run. (CONT.)

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

TheSpineView Wow! Only July and already getting ready for the new school year! 5y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk @TheSpineView Budget cuts mean my old position is now folded into someone else‘s job, so I found out 2 weeks ago that I‘ll be teaching 8th grade English. I‘ve been moving out of my old classrooms at 2 other schools and moving into this one. No fun during the summer! 5y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @TheSpineView To be fair to my county, they found everybody in my department new jobs by plugging us into spots opened up by retiring or moving teachers, so I can‘t complain. 5y
TheSpineView @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Glad that you didn't have to job hunt... still no fun 5y

Today was a good day. Went with the 8th grade teacher and her class for a retreat day at Fort Miley. We did a ropes course, ate lunch, processed our experiences, and bonded and laughed and were brave. All with this beautiful view in the background. Grateful for my work today 🙌🏻.

Now I️ need to prepare for tonight‘s book club!
