When Roscoe's stuffed pig, Hamilton, goes missing, he is convinced that Wyatt, the class bully, is responsible. When Roscoe finds out where Wyatt keeps his teddy bear, he decides to give that pignapper a taste of his own medicine. That will fix everything. Won't it?

Roscoe and his comical misadventures will appeal to fans of Megan McDonald's Stink series; Nancy Krulik's George Brown, Class Clown series; Rebecca Elliott's Owl Diaries series;and Dan Gutman's My Weirder School series. This repackaged edition includes Roscoe Riley's Time-Out Activities, featuring lists, games, and more.

Critical Reviews

"Praise for the ROSCOE RILEY series: "Applegate perfectly captures the voice of kids in this fast-paced, funny title. Children will love the short chapters, kid ingenuity, and comical illustrations." -- School Library Journal

"Applegate's writing is strong and lively, and the short sentences, funny situations, and frequent appearance of pictures will make this series an easy sell to novice readers. Adult readers-aloud will also appreciate the understated humor of Roscoe's narrative and nod in recognition at the goings-on." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Roscoe is an appealing, lively kid whose story is both entertaining and thought-provoking, and Biggs'expressive pencil drawings add to the humor" -- ALA Booklist
