When five seventh graders end up in detention for trying to help others and failing spectacularly, they think their day can't get any worse. They're wrong-and they're about to discover that sometimes the worst days lead to the best adventures.
Nikki's color-coded anxiety, Oliver's gentle giant clumsiness, Abe's athletic disasters, Perry's brilliant shyness, and Leah's invisible artistry seem like totally different problems. But in Room 142, they realize they all share one thing: they want to help people, even when the world seems designed to make them fail.
When they decide to enter the Invention Fair with a device called DoodleBuddy, they're up against Silicon Valley kids with unlimited budgets and professional mentors. But The Fix-It Five have something their competition doesn't: they know what it feels like to need help, to struggle with communication, to feel like they don't quite fit.
From a retirement home filled with wisdom to the gleaming headquarters of a tech giant, five detention hall misfits are about to prove that the best innovations don't come from perfect technology-they come from perfect friendship.
A heartwarming story about finding your tribe, embracing your differences, and discovering that sometimes your biggest failures are just practice for your biggest successes.
