Ah, Gordon Korman! According to the book jacket for this book, he has written about 90 books for teens and young adults...yep, he knows what he's doing! The Unteacahables is his latest, and if you know Korman's work, you'll know this one, too, and probably like it! Easy to follow, great characters, funny, fast, good story line but nothing super new or groundbreaking. Not as good as some of his better books, like Schooled, Ungifted, Masterminds, or even No More Dead Dogs, but still pretty good. Worth your time if you like lighter and often funny, well-written books that will not tax your brain very much - a great "beach read" for middle school! 3 paws!
All things reading by a middle school librarian (and a very smart four-legged fur friend!) and hundreds of awesome students!
