The Principal's Underwear Is Missing

by Holly Kowitt, Holly Kowitt (Illustrator)

Overview

When you're a sixth-grade nobody, the last person you want to accidentally zonk with a volleyball is Sloan "Selfie" St. Clair--the eighth-grade glamour queen of the school. But that's what happens to Becca Birnbaum, and it only gets worse when she tries to do Selfie a favor. She grabs the wrong shopping bag from the principal's office -- one containing a very personal item. and even that might not be so bad, if only Selfie didn't immediately lose it.

If they don't get it back ASAP, they're toast. They try not to panic--until they hear that the Biggest Prank Ever is about to happen. Can the school's oddest couple stop the disaster of a lifetime?

Editorial Reviews

Praise for The Principal's Underwear Is Missing:

“In this amusing read with its Wimpy Kid—like line drawings, kids will learn that it's OK to associate with someone who's different—you might even have fun. . . . Kowitt's well-written title gets school social dynamics right and will be appreciated by readers who enjoy mean girl stories, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries series, and other school survival tales.” —School Library Journal

"Along with an arresting title and laughs aplenty, this helter-skelter caper features two middle-schoolers who aren’t quite as typecast as they seem. . . . Kowitt’s cartoon insertions supply the romp with punchlines and wry visual commentary." —Booklist

From the Publisher

Gr 4–6—Becca's not in the popular crowd. She has friends, but they're nothing like Sloan "Selfie" St. Clair, the "it" girl at school who walks around with fancy coffee, uses pink-feather pens, and looks down her nose at kids who don't wear designer clothes from head to toe. After Becca accidentally hurts Selfie and approaches her to apologize, the two are suddenly thrust into what for Becca is a scary ordeal and what might be Selfie's last straw with the principal: they must take action before the woman's very large bra is sent up the school flagpole by a prankster. In this amusing read with its Wimpy Kid—like line drawings, kids will learn that it's OK to associate with someone who's different—you might even have fun. VERDICT Kowitt's well-written title gets school social dynamics right and will be appreciated by readers who enjoy mean girl stories, the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Dork Diaries" series, and other school survival tales.—Henrietta Verma, National Information Standards Organization, Baltimore
