Meet Calvin Cobbler-fifth-grade disaster magnet, accidental ant smuggler, and proud survivor of the Great Compost Faceplant of Goosebottom Falls.
In this hilariously chaotic tale, Calvin's week goes from bad to worse after he crashes a girl's bike into a rose bush, releases a battalion of Army ants on the school bus, and earns a permanent spot on Principal Fudgepants's "List of Doom." Between run-ins with biker gangs, betrayal by his best friend, and a surprise ambush by an angry tabby cat, Calvin just wants to make it home in one piece... and maybe avoid total humiliation along the way.
But when the ants come marching back for revenge, things really get messy.
Detention Diaries is a laugh-out-loud chapter book packed with slapstick mayhem, unlikely heroics, and one very unfortunate bicycle. Buckle up-surviving fifth grade was never part of the plan.
