Sneak Peak: The Classroom by Robin Mellom

Middle Grade News Flash:

The Classroom, by Robin Mellom hits bookshelves tomorrow (June 19th) from Disney-Hyperion!

Look for our upcoming review next week on Middle Grade Monday. In the meantime, we thought we’d give you a lil’ sneak peak of the book trailer and official synopsis (just to wet your appetite):

In 2012, a documentary crew descended upon Westside Middle School to detail the life of an average seventh grader and his classmates.

What they uncovered, though, was far from average. Mostly, it was upper average along with moments of extreme average, highlighted by several minutes of total epicness.

This is the story…

Trevor Jones — perfect attendance award recipient, former neurotic (he hopes) — has been preparing for the start of seventh grade his entire summer. But he is NOT ready for the news his best friend, Libby (proud neurotic, in a color-coding sort of way), drops on him: he must ask a girl to the fall dance. By the end of the day.

Trevor decides he would rather squirt hot sauce in his eyes than attend the dance. Everything changes when he meets mysterious new student Molly (excessive doodler, champion of unnatural hair colors).

Trevor starts to think that going to the dance maybe wouldn’t be the worst thing ever. But what if she says no to his invitation? More important, what if she says yes?!
