Fifth-grader Berticus exists at the collision point of homework, tests, bullies, first crushes, and the pressure from The Perfect Student. Not a pretty sight-but a funny one.
Berticus goes from self-appointed lunchroom maître d' to his secret club, an impromptu sing-a-long following a bathroom mishap, surviving bullies, becoming a martial arts superhero, running for class president, and joining the school band with the girl he's been crushing on ... and all bets are off.
Brian Silbert masterfully explores resilience, friendship, heart, humor, and the complexities of being a fifth-grader on his way to middle school.
A kid's rough school days make for a rollicking and often endearing story. - Kirkus Reviews
