A perfect read for back to school--no matter what that looks like!

Dexter is like a square peg in a round hole: he just can’t fit in. All the kids in his class enjoy the zany things their teacher Mr. Ditzwinkle does to make learning fun. All except Dexter, the weirdo who prefers the same routine. But when things start disappearing from school, Dexter is surprised that his teacher is suspected. Dexter thinks Mr. Ditzwinkle is odd, but he knows he’s not a crook.

Can Dexter the weirdo prove it by catching the real thief? "The large type, short chapters and first person narrative make this a fast read. The quirky characters who work to right the problems of friends and family will appeal to young readers."—School Library Journal

"An entertaining and funny journey of self-discovery. . . . Readers will cheer as Dexter transforms himself into a colorful character with plenty of new friends along the way."—Kirkus Reviews
