I love this school story about one boy‘s refusal to do his homework. His suspension causes him to fight back and sue the school district claiming homework is unconstitutional. Great tween novel!

Righteous indignation boils up as I️ read this funny, insightful, educational middle grade book about kids taking action to reclaim their childhood while my kids stress over their homework. It‘s slated for publication in April, but I️ hope it comes out sooner.

“Other kids keep up. Why can‘t I?” ... “They don‘t keep up, Sam. They give up.”

RebL I️ cried three times reading this book. Oof. It hits close to home. 6y
