Old School — Gordon Korman

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 BooklistPraise 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 ReviewsA keenly rendered, fast-paced read. — Publishers Weekly
