Frederick Frederickson has a food-chain theory about life.
There are lions, like the school bully.
Gazelles, like the bullied kids.
There are meerkats, and the fleas that live on the butts of meerkats.
Frederick's a flea.
Fifth grade is off to a terrible start when Frederick is sent to a disciplinary camp for troublesome boys.
His fellow troop mates--Nosebleed, Specs, The Professor, and little-yet-lethal Ant Bite--are terrifying.
But in between trust-building exercises and midnight escape attempts, a tenuous friendship grows between them.
Which is lucky, because a Category 5 hurricane is coming and everyone will have to work together--lions and fleas alike--to survive!Kate Beasley outdoes herself in this hilarious, whip-smart tale of brotherhood, survival, and what it really means to be a friend.
