The 6th Grade Nickname Game

★ "LOTS OF LAUGHS." --School Library Journal

A funny and fast-paced school story about two best friends whose innocent game could make them not-so-legendary, with signature hilarity from New York Times bestselling author Gordon Korman.

Jeff and Wiley are nicknaming pros. Practically everyone in their school has been renamed by the duo. They've dubbed their own underachieving class "The Dim Bulbs"; their pop-eyed principal is better known as "Deer in Headlights"; and their enormous new English teacher, Mr. Hughes, is "Mr. Huge."

But when a spunky red-haired environmentalist named Cassandra enters their lives, the boys begin to doubt themselves. No name seems to say it all. On top of that, some of the nicknames are backfiring, and now their teacher is in danger of losing his job. Will the duo be able to get it together before it's too late?

This hilarious and heartwarming story captures all the beauty and pain of middle school, while discovering--what's really in a name?
