| Summary |
Before they became the world-famous Kids of Widney High, they first had to survive junior high! This rock band, composed entirely of members with developmental disabilities, loves to put on a show, but boy can they can get into fights, trouble, and sticky situations. Join their friend and honorary assistant manager Robbie as he introduces the band members and shows us how they're just like everyone else. From cafeteria food fights to relationship woes, Robbie finds himself immersed in an incredible adventure to get everyone onboard for the big concert while better understanding his new friends with special abilities. Junior high can be tough, but this group of rambunctious misfits is ready to entertain and loves to have a good time! Comes with an exclusive interview with Peewee about disability representation and two unreleased Kids of Widney High songs. "A wonderful story about inclusion and acceptance." "Funny, colorful, and conversational." "This book is tender, it's funny, it's perfect to read with your kids, and it gives me hope. Love these kids!" "Memorable characters, fun stories, and some great music. Mathew Klickstein captures the middle school experience of Widney Junior High with an expert eye and his trademark humor and insight." "The Kids of Widney High is a remarkable band, and Klickstein's story provides readers an opportunity to learn about their music and world while simultaneously modeling for readers how to sensitively interact with individuals with disabilities." "Sweet and fun." |
