Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children’s Publishing for this fun and entertaining middle grade fiction novel. My 9 year old read this and just loved it! It is a well written book about a boy who loves to draw and try’s to evade getting a wedgie. There are some nice drawings throughout

I really enjoyed this book. I liked all of the characters, the plot was good, and it was well-written. There will be art sprinkled liberally throughout the book but unfortunately I didn’t get to see it. I think with the added art I’d like it even more. It was a funny, quick read about school, drawing, and wedgies. I think kids looking for lighthearted fun books will enjoy this.

The digital ARC currently provided by the publisher does not include any of the artwork, instead inserting large squares where the final art will appear. This isn't normally a problem, but in this particular text the art informs the plot. As such it's hard to recommend reading or passing on the book. The available text makes it look like a likely middle grad favorite, but it's disjointed enough in its current format that I can't be sure.
