Publisher Description

There’s a folder in Principal Kelling’s office that’s as thick as a phonebook and it’s growing daily. It’s filled with the incident reports of every time Clayton Hensley broke the rules. There’s the minor stuff like running in the hallways and not being where he was suppose to be when he was supposed to be there. But then there are also reports that show Clay’s own brand of troublemaking, like the most recent addition: the art teacher has said that the class should spend the period drawing anything they want and Clay decides to be extra “creative” and draw a spot-on portrait of Principal Kellings…as a donkey.

It’s a pretty funny joke, but really, Clay is coming to realize that the biggest joke of all may be on him. When his big brother, Mitchell, gets in some serious trouble, Clay decides to change his own mischief making ways…but he can’t seem to shake his reputation as a troublemaker.

From the master of the school story comes a book about the fine line between good-humored mischief and dangerous behavior and how everyday choices can close or open doors.

"I enjoyed this addition to Clements' School Stories. He is a master at pacing, and I found the story moved quickly and kept me interested. My favorite character was the principal and I loved the ending. A lesson to be learned. "

    " Solid effort. This time Clements writes about kid who tries to undo his troublemaking ways. Not quite as brilliant as some of Clements' earlier works as the story almost seemed a little too easy at times. But a decent story anyway. "

    " As much as I don't believe in censoring what the kids at my school read, I'm not sure how I feel about them reading a book about a boy who's trying to be like his brother who just got out if jail. "

    " Clements' newest book follows his typical format - a relatively short, easy read about upper elementary/lower middle students who deal with a school-related issue or conflict. This one is fine for kids who like the author's other books and would make a good read-aloud for 5th grade. "
