Publisher Description

Jacob Freisten's goal in life is to be unnoticed. He's perfect at gliding past the jocks' lockers and sneaking into his English class. But he won't be unnoticed now. If he wants to pass English, he has to work for extra credit on the stage crew of the school production of The Wizard of Oz.

Jacob, who's usually in a fog anyway, gets the job of running the fog machine. The problem is that Maria Tresser, the girl of his dreams, is playing the Wicked Witch. Jacob has already made a fool of himself in front of Maria. How can he face her again?

Download and start listening now!

"A boy who finds love using a simple fog machine. Enough said."

    " A good read. I was reading it to sixth graders and they didn't really like the ending, but they wanted more about Jacob, so I think that means over all they enjoyed the story and the main character. Because really it is just about Jacob and his "horrible" life both in and outside school. "

    " I grabbed this off the shelf on the way to ball practice and thought it might be a good time-killer. I was disappointed. Not up to the standard of Paulsen's other books. "

    " I personal didn't like this book. I didn't really understand it. The title does not fit the story. I wouldn't recommend this book if you are looking for a quik read. I like Gary Paulsen, but in this book i didn't really like what he wrote. "
