Why Did the Underwear Cross the Road? [Paperback]

Grade 3-5-The three "Zs"-Justin Zechendorf, Jessica Zander, and Margaret Zachary-are determined to win the fourth-grade Good Deed Contest. But how? The only thing the partners have in common is their desire to beat the other kids in their class. Justin convinces the girls that he should be in charge because he is an "idea man," but each of his zany schemes leads to hilarious and disastrous results. In the end, however, the Zs triumph-they help catch some car thieves and win the contest. Korman's book has a galloping plot that's full of humor, and young readers are sure to enjoy it.

Fourth-grader Justin Zeckendorf has tons of ideas for scoring the most points in the Good Deed Contest, especially since the prize is a trip to the Tidal Wave Water Park. But his problem is his team -- Jessica Zander and Margaret Zachary are two of the drippiest girls on the planet. And Justin's crazy plans always seem to backfire, earning the team negative points! Korman's trademark zany style -- short, snappy, and fun -- makes this book perfect for middle-grade readers, avid and not-so-avid alike.
