Description

A very unlucky kid navigates the many challenges of the first day of school in the first book in The Very Worst Ever chapter book series!

[REDACTED] keeps his name and school secret--even hiding his appearance behind stickers. Why? Because his bad luck is super embarrassing!

It's the first day at a new school, and this fresh new start means absolutely no one knows just how unlucky he is. But after missing his school bus, getting lost looking for his classroom, and getting smacked in the face with a basketball, he quickly realizes he is doomed forever. Luckily, some new friends might just help him make it through the worst first day ever!

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Very Worst Ever chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.

Critical Reviews

"...readers may well be inclined to wince in sympathy even as they chortle, but as several classmates met along the way turn out to be helpful friends, "Worst" day actually becomes "Best" by the end."--Booklist "11/1/23"

"Get ready to laugh out loud!"--School Library Journal "12/1/23"

"Carried by wackiness and jokes aplenty."--Kirkus Reviews "11/1/2023"
