Middle School Book Club: The Perfect Score

Middle school readers (Grades 6th-8th) are invited to participate in a book club  where we read a book, reflect & discuss and c r e a t e  ART.

Books will be available for checkout beginning at the previous month's meeting.

This month we will be discussing The Perfect Score by Rob Buyea.

From the beloved author of Because of Mr. Terupt and its sequels comes The Perfect Score, a middle-grade school story with characters who discover that getting the perfect score--both on the test and in life--is perhaps not so perfect after all.

No one likes or wants to take the statewide assessment tests. Not the students in Mrs. Woods's sixth-grade class. Not even Mrs. Woods. It's not as if the kids don't already have things to worry about. . . .

The whole school is in a frenzy with test time approaching--kids, teachers, the administration. Everyone is anxious. When one of the kids has a big idea for acing the tests, they're all in. But things get ugly before they get better, and in the end, the real meaning of the perfect score surprises them all.
