Synopsis
Alex Ryan has always been a class clown. But when he's around his crush, Marcia, he can't keep his foot out of his mouth, and Marcia is fed up. She won't talk to him, and will probably still be giving him the silent treatment when they go on their four-day outdoor education trip. This trip seems doomed. Not only does Marcia hate him, but his totally embarrassing dad is coming on the trip as a parent volunteer! The only thing he can do to save the trip is to plan a prank hilarious enough to win Marcia back.

From Booklist
Gr. 4-7. In this fourth entry in the West Creek Middle School series, a follow-up to Lizzie at Last (2000), Mills focuses on Alex Ryan, class clown and prankster of the seventh grade. Alex's Dad has volunteered to chaperone the students on an outdoor education experience, and Alex is upset because he's often the brunt of his father's caustic humor. Meanwhile, in a futile attempt to convey his admiration for the pretty, popular Marcia Faitak, Alex manages to completely insult her. His efforts to repair the damage include a stunt involving a fake rattlesnake, which results in Marcia's breaking her leg and Alex mistakenly being hailed as a hero for rescuing her. Eventually the truth comes out and Alex learns from his behavior, even as his father remains completely clueless about his own. Mills has a great ear for middle-school dialogue, and her characters ring true. Readers are sure to identify with Alex, his friends, and the problems they face and will appreciate that, at least in Mill's world, these problems can be solved. This book can stand alone, but expect requests for the previous titles in this humorous series. Kay Weisman
