  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;Dunderheads, unite! A tyrannical teacher gets her just due in a delightfully&lt;br&gt;subversive, outrageously funny tale by Newbery Medal winner Paul Fleischman.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Miss Breakbone hates kids. Especially the time-squandering, mindwandering, doodling, dozing dunderheads in her class. But when she confiscates Junkyard&#8217;s crucial fi nd, she fi nally goes too far. Enter Wheels (and his souped-up bike with forty-eight extra gears), Pencil (who can draw anything from memory), Spider (look up and you&#8217;ll fi nd him), and their fellow misfi ts in a spectacular display of teamwork aimed at teaching Miss Breakbone a lesson she won&#8217;t soon forget. From the incomparable Paul Fleischman comes a winning cast of underdogs &#8212; and one of the most terrifying teachers you&#8217;ll ever meet &#8212; brought to vivid life in David Roberts&#8217;s quirky, hilarious illustrations.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Newbery winner, Paul Fleishman, gives us a hip new picture book that will engage both reluctant readers and early readers.  The pace and storyline may hark of Ocean's Eleven, but the talented cast of characters will remind you of The Mysterious Benedict Society. The sharp illustrations will really b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76730498">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This J book got a great Washington Post review...it's a little subversive..some parents might not like how badly the teacher is portrayed.  However, if you can get past that, the many kooky illustrations, and the unusual talents of all the children in a classroom that work together to get a possessi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67093210">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Really funny adventure caper - as I was reading it, I kept thinking of Ocean's Eleven (for 3rd graders). Ironically it's formatted like a small-ish picture book, but the sensibility is definitely older.

    <body><![CDATA[Clever book, with an evil teacher in the spirit of a Roald Dahl vilain (I feel like I've been saying that a lot lately...) and a crazy, quirky cast of kid-heroes.  While the story was entertaining enough, the pictures were what sold me and set the tone.  <br/><br/>Kind of reminds me of an episode ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69021357">more...</a>]]></body>
