Principal for a Day

Jackson's kind of a troublemaker. Well, not kind of, he is a troublemaker. When he creates his own ticket to win Principal for a Day as a joke, he never, ever expects he'll be picked. When Principal Pennysworth's voice blared over the loudspeaker, "Jackson Stiller, you're this month's Principal for a Day!" Jackson was devastated. Not able to get out of it, Jackson has to spend the day with Principal Pennysworth. If that isn't enough, he has to deal with unruly younger graders, sneaky hall-walkers, a super-scary kindergarten class, and lots more. How's he going to do it without pulling his hair out? Find out how Jackson deals with all the other troublemakers in his school.

Jackson's kind of a troublemaker. Well, not kind of, he's definitely one of the school's troublemakers. And he even goes so far as to create his own fake ticket for the Principal for a Day lottery. A week passes and Jackson forgets all about the ticket. Then Principal Pennyworth's voice blares over the loudspeaker, "Jackson Stiller, you're this month's Principal for a Day!" Jackson drops the glue he's using to stick Mia's pencil to her desk. He never, ever, ever thought his name would be picked. And, he for sure thought if it was picked, the principal would laugh at the joke and throw his ticket away. But Jackson's joke backfired. He now has to deal with unruly younger graders, hall-walkers, a super-scary kindergarten class, and even other troublemakers.
