We’re excited to tell you all about Sixth Grade Secret Service by Jason F. Franz. This adventurous contemporary story tracks Abe as he learns to trust himself. Here’s the back cover blurb:
Abraham Truman comes from a long line of secret service agents.
Unfortunately, every previous generation of Trumans seemed to be cursed. Abe’s curse is his ‘busted belly’, and thanks to an ill-timed trip to the bathroom, he just lost the school’s new sixth grade student president—his best friend Tibby Roosevelt.
Determined to keep his family history from repeating itself, Abe and his team of outcasts must locate and return Tibby to her elected office before the class bully and vice student president, Chaz Nixon, takes her place.
If Abe can’t find Tibby in time, he’ll lose his chance at getting out of his family’s historical shadow, his school will suffer under Chaz’s bullyship, and most importantly, he’ll lose the faith of the one person who believes in him.
But can Abe believe in himself?
