Synopses & Reviews
A smart and funny tale of perseverance, teamwork, and the true meaning of success.Strange things are happening at Ho-Ho-Kus Junior High. The cafeteria is covered in a sea of burger wrappers. Bullies arent bullying anymore. And theres an eerie growling coming from the walls.
If anyone can get to the bottom of these mysteries, its Denton, Wendell, Eddie, Elijah, and Bijay. They may be misfits, but theyre also the smartest kids in the eighth grade. Theres just one problem. Vice Principal Snodgrass has framed them for a crime they didnt commit and imprisoned them in a secret room in the bowels of the school. His terms: Ace the dreaded Idaho Tests and all will be forgiven. Their plan: figure out who—or what—is to blame for the changes at school. It will take the nerdiest of skills. It will be scarier than talking to girls. It will be a true test, one that can be passed only by a select few. And those five boys are known as DWEEB.
