Praise for SLUGFEST: "A middle school romp that takes the "Bad News Bears" premise for a wild ride. The pastries aren't all that's sweet in a tale rich in wins both public and personal." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A rousing tale filled with hilarity and heart." -- BookPage (starred review) "Korman balances humor and heart, delivering a tale that is both plausible and a little outlandish, realistic and just a bit goofy. Snappy dialogue, idiosyncratically depicted characters, and a madcap plot keep this lively story moving at a brisk pace." -- Publishers Weekly "The first-person narrative rotates chapter by chapter among members of the Slugfest team. While not every writer can use this technique successfully, Korman makes it look effortless, [with] his ability to create memorable individual characters. There may be some surprises along the way, but fans can count on a satisfying conclusion." -- ALA Booklist Praise for THE SUPERTEACHER PROJECT: "In this funny and provocative outing...Korman, as usual, takes the side of the kids. Relayed by multiple narrators, the tale offers both different perspectives on effective teaching methods and food for thought about the notion of "personhood." -- Booklist (starred review) "A school story with a twist, told with humor, insight, and empathy." -- Kirkus Reviews "A keenly rendered, fast-paced read." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for OLD SCHOOL: "resonates with good-natured humor." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for OLD SCHOOL: "Wry, provocative, and shot through with cogent issues." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for OLD SCHOOL: "This quick-paced, absorbing narrative encourages readers to consider different varied perspectives on people and events." -- Booklist, Praise for SLUGFEST: "A middle school romp that takes the "Bad News Bears" premise for a wild ride.

There's also, as expected, plenty of laughs, history, and relatable middle school moments. A fun romp that encourages tween and teen readers to give new situations--and people--a chance."

Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unteachables comes a hilarious story about a boy who is homeschooled in his grandmother's retirement community...until he is forced to go to public school. Dexter Foreman is twelve going on eighty. He has lived at The Pines retirement village with his grandmother since he was six years old, and as a result he gets along better with senior citizens than kids his own age. He's homeschooled by the residents up until the day the county's truancy officer shows up and announces that Dex has to go to a "real" school, to the local middle school. At school, Dex sticks out like a sore thumb. He dresses like a grandpa (and can be just as cranky). His taste in movies and music is decades out of date. Only a few students--like Gianna Greco, a reporter at the school's newspaper--find him intriguing. For most, he is either a weirdo or a target. Dexter would do anything to return to his old life at The Pines. But when his wish finally seems to be coming true, his old and new worlds collide in a way that surprises everyone--Dexter most of all.
