Hardcover. Somerville MA, Candlewick Press, 1st, 2009, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, glossy boards, 56 pages, illustrated in color by David Roberts.

Especially the time-squandering, mindwandering, doodling, dozing dunderheads in her class. But when she confiscates Junkyard's crucial find, she finally goes too far. Enter Wheels (and his souped-up bike with forty-eight extra gears), Pencil (who can draw anything from memory), Spider (look up and you'll find him), and their fellow misfits in a spectacular display of teamwork aimed at teaching Miss Breakbone a lesson she won't soon forget. Roberts' drawings are hilariously appropriate. Clean copy.
