Hidden away at Hopewell Elementary School is a magical locker that always delivers a solution to your problems--just not quite in the way you might expect.
It's Halloween at Hopewell Elementary, but when fourth-grader Bryce Dodd shows up in a costume, he's told it's too distracting. All Bryce wants to do is express himself (and maybe also to impress Keisha James...), and luckily, the magical Locker 37 has a solution to Bryce's costume conundrum - interdimensional fish sticks! Each time he eats one, he's transported to a different parallel universe, and each time he travels to a new one, things get weird, weirder, to off-the-walls weird. Will Bryce be able to make it back to his home dimension and Keisha, or will he be stuck in an alternate universe forever?
3.5 stars for this funny fantasy for ages 8-12. It has a realistic, contemporary setting, but fantastical things happen from a magic locker. These books have beautiful paper, different colored inks, a large font, and illustrations. I like the sense of humor, and there was well-explained math! The characters repeat in the different books, but each story stands alone. This book ends with an important message about self-esteem, helping others, etc.
