Maxie gets bullied and teased in class all the time, so when he finally can't take it anymore, he takes maters into his own hands. Rosie is a tell-tale, but this time she's taken it too far. As for Earl, he just doesn't want to read. So these three very different people all meet up in the same place, the yellow seats in front of the Principal's office. Their worlds are going to collide in the most ridiculous way yet. A book that shows all the wrong decisions you can ever make in life, with funny...more
I have never read a Barbara Park book that did not literally have me howling with nearly uncontrollable laughter, and this book is no exception. Buoyed by some soft and tender moments that really give the story substance, "Rose, Maxie, and Earl-Partners in Grime" is most definitely a Barbara Park original, an endlessly creative book that was an immense pleasure to read. I am practically overjoyed that there are two more in this mini-series for me to experience. In my book, more Barbara Park is...more
I read this book as a kid, liked it, and decided to reread it today. Only took me about an hour and a half. Might have finished it sooner, but I was laughing too much. Which is kinda funny, since the humor didn't really strike me as funny when I was a kid, rather I simply took it a face value.
I was a serious kid, though, so don't mind me.

I read this book when I was in the third grade, but had no idea what it was about. So I decided to read it again and I understand now why I liked it so much. The cover on the book is quite different than its original cover. The book is very humorous and entertaining. Children will definitely be able to relate to it.
Read this as a possible novel for my 6th grade class. Wasn't nearly as good as the other novel about this trio.
Three kids become unlikely friends due to circumstances stemming from a trip to the principal's office.
Not a horrible book- I have a couple students who might like it but most certainly not Park's best work.
Il aughes out loud many times reading this great book by Barbara Parks!
I love this book. It was so funny.
I like this book. Barba Park is a really good writter cause she makes it feel like your acctually in the book with the main charaters.
