Recenzii
A
Miami
eighth-grader's
class
trip
to
the
nation's
capital
quickly
escalates
into
an
international
incident.Wyatt
Palmer
wants
nothing
more
than
a
nice,
peaceful,
informative
class
trip
to
Washington,
D.C.
But
when
his
best
friend,
Matt,
spots
some
suspicious
activity
on
their
plane,
his
dream
vanishes-in
a
big
way.
Soon
Matt
is
kidnapped,
possibly
by
international
terrorists,
and
it's
up
to
Wyatt
and
the
girl
of
his
dreams
to
find
him
and
exchange
a
deadly
device
for
their
lost
friend.
That
all
sounds
heavy,
but
humor
columnist
Barry
sprinkles
enough
laughs
throughout
to
keep
things
moving
smoothly.
The
novel's
ludicrous
scenario
is
met
with
an
equally
comic
tone,
making
for
a
fast-paced,
easy
read.
The
author
sup!
plies
these
kids
with
enough
smarts
to
get
out
of
jams
but
enough
vulnerabilities
to
keep
readers
engaged.
At
no
point
will
readers
be
worried
about
the
fate
of
the
world,
but
whether
or
not
Wyatt
and
his
pals
make
it
out
in
one
piece
is
another
matter.
The
book's
shortcomings
are
few:
the
adult
characters
are
as
flat
as
the
children
are
round,
some
of
the
slapstick
goes
a
bit
too
far,
and
the
final
pages
are
overstuffed
with
expository
"this
is
how
everybody
ended
up"
chunks
of
text.
A
light,
comic
tone
and
more-or-less
believable
stakes
make
for
a
winning
combination.—Kirkus
On a class trip to Washington, DC, eighth grader Wyatt Palmer and his best friend Matt believe that they have uncovered a terrorist plot. The men seated behind them in the airplane are oddly protective of their luggage and spend their time during the flight studying aerial photos of the White House. During a scuffle with these passengers, Matt removes an odd device from one man's backpack. This event gets Matt and Wyatt into trouble with their teacher, not to mention a stern lecture from the Federal Air Marshal, but they figure it will be worth it if they have foiled a terrorist plot. Unfortunately, Wyatt and Matt have not seen the last of those two men. For the rest of their trip, Wyatt, Matt, and a few more of their classmates (including Wyatt's crush Suzana) avoid bad guys, sneak away from the rest of their class, and conceal the whole situation from their chaperones. If everything goes well, Wyatt can save the country and get the girl-but when has anything on this trip gone well for Wyatt? Barry's trademark humor shines in this tale of a field trip gone hilariously wrong. While Wyatt's adventures occasionally push the boundaries of credulity, his escapades are so funny that readers are likely to be forgiving. VERDICT With its wacky humor and mildly suspenseful scenarios, this appealing book will be a good fit for most libraries.—School Library Journal
Check your disbelief at the TSA line for this hilarious jaunt from Miami to Washington, D.C., with the civics students of Culver Middle School. Trouble starts on the airplane, where Wyatt Palmer and friend Matt Diaz notice that some nearby passengers have aerial photos of the White House and a backpack they are reluctant to stow under the seat in front of them. When an electronic device falls out of the bag, Matt pockets it, setting off a chain of events that leads to two kidnappings and an international incident in the Rose Garden involving the President, a foreign dignitary, a dragon kite, an angry cab driver, and more. (Suggested alternate title: The Worst School Chaperones Ever.) The boys are aided by the apple of Wyatt's eye, Suzana Delgado, who they are surprised to learn is not only an excellent soccer player but "basically a Navy SEAL disguised as a hot eighth-grade girl." Pulitzer-winner Barry has the comic sensibility of a middle-school class clown. Expect to have lots of trouble keeping this one on the shelf.—Publisher's Weekly
