One sixth grader takes his battle against homework all the way to the Supreme Court!
Sixth-grader Sam Warren is sick of stressing over assignments, and that's exactly what he tells his teacher: NO. MORE. HOMEWORK!
Suspended from school, Sam recruits his elderly neighbor, ex-attorney Mr. Kalman, to the cause. He's ready to file a class action suit on behalf of all the children in Los Angeles, and eventually the country. Their argument? Homework is unconstitutional.
With his sister, Sadie, Mr. Kalman, and his besties, Sam takes his case to Washington, D.C., and the highest court in the land. Will Sam's case pay off and allow him and his friends some time to grow and play, or will he just look like the laziest kid in America?
- Funny Middle Grade Books: Sixth-grader Sam Warren is so fed up, he stands on his desk and starts a rebellion that lands him in the principal's office--and eventually, federal court.
- David vs Goliath Story: One kid with a big idea versus the entire school system. Sam's fight for a little free time becomes a national movement with stakes higher than he ever imagined.
- Unlikely Friendship: To take on the legal system, Sam needs a lawyer. He finds one in his grumpy, retired neighbor Mr. Kalman, who reluctantly agrees to help him make his case.
- Legal Stories for Kids: Packed with real-life court cases and legal terms (explained so you'll actually get them), this is a crash course in how the justice system works, all from a kid's point of view.
