The Dunderheads

"A celebration of multiple intelligences, teamwork, and kid power." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

Miss Breakbone hates kids. Especially the time-squandering, mind-wandering, doodling, dozing dunderheads in her class. But each kid's special talent is crucial to a spectacular display of teamwork that teaches Miss Breakbone a lesson she won't soon forget. From the incomparable Paul Fleischman comes a winning cast of underdogs- and one of the most terrifying teachers you'll ever meet -- brought to vivid life in David Roberts's quirky, hilarious illustrations.
