Alex Woolard | 1 comments This book is told through the perspective of a girl who joins a club, this club is like misfits or something. She gets in trouble in class then is forced to copy a page from the dictionary. Later she meets a guy who gives advice to only write in pages with pictures so you get ti write less.
Another key part I remember is someone saying they can write the dictionary page with the word “ass” then saying they know it’s just a donkey but still. I loved this book in 2017/2018 and would love to know the name of it, thanks!

Sixth Grade Secrets by Louis Sachar - Rosa's suggestion - has different cover images.

Some Goodreads reviewers said:
- "It is still quite funny and I always loved the idea of the dictionary pages punishment..."
- "... copy down seventeen dictionary pages as a punishment by Mr. Doyle."
- "... kids talk about copying pages from the dictionary that have edgy words like "sex" and "ass"...."
