How Lunchbox Jones Saved Me from Robots, Traitors, and Missy the Cruel (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781619634541)

For fans of Gordon Korman and Jack Gantos comes the ultimate, middle-grade redemption story, where losers are the real winners.

Forest Shade Middle School is the losing-est school in the history of losing. And that's just fine for Luke Abbott, who'd rather be at home playing video games and avoiding his older brother Rob and the Greatest Betrayal of All Time.

But now he's being forced to join the robotics team and spend his afternoons with Mikayla, the girl who does everything with her toes; Jacob and Jacob, who aren't twins but might as well be; the sunflower seed-obsessed Stuart; and Missy the Cruel, Luke's innocent-looking bully since they were six-years-old. But it's an unlikely connection with a mysterious boy known only as "Lunchbox Jones" that will change Luke's life. When Lunchbox Jones' blue tin goes missing, followed by the boy himself, Luke races to find his new friend in time to save their team!
