Stanford Wong is the best basket ball player at his school. And he is joining a basketball summer camp for the best basketball players. There are 2 weeks left until school ends and his ELA teacher told him that he failed the class. Because he failed he now has to take summer school and he can not go to the camp. Stanford's mom gives Stanford a tutor and it is Millicent Min. Millicent Min is a genius. Also, Stanford has to hide that he has to go to summers school because he does not want to look dumb in front of his basketball team.
I liked how the book was a mix of funny and seriousness. I think that makes a great combo that makes it easy for people to like the book. I think kids in middle school and early high school will like this book. The book made me feel good because it is a funny story that is relatable to many. It made me think about why it is important to try hard at school during the real year because you do not want to do it during the summer. Also you do not want to miss fun and good camps during the summer.
