Reviews

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.
