In this heartwarming New York Times bestselling story from the world's #1 bestselling author, two best friends use laughter to turn the tables on their bullies.
"I have one word for this book: SUPERWONDERRIFIC!" ―Jerry Spinelli, Newberry Medal-winning author of Maniac Magee and Stargirl David and his best friend Michael were tagged with awful nicknames way back in preschool when everyone did silly things. Fast-forward to seventh grade: "Pottymouth" and "Stoopid" are still stuck with the names--and everyone in school, including the teachers and their principal, believe the unfair labels are true. So how do they go about changing everyone's minds? By turning their misery into megastardom on TV, of course! This important story delivers more than just laughs--it shows that the worst bullying isn't always physical, and that things will get better. Full of hilarious and engaging illustrations, this critically acclaimed novel will have kids laughing out loud--and it's a great conversation starter for parents to read alongside their kids! Official Notice to Parents: There is no actual pottymouthing or stupidity in this entire book!(Psst, kids: that second part might not be entirely true.)Author Biography
