My Life as a Potato

Ben Hardy believes he's cursed by potatoes. And now he's moved to Idaho, where his school's mascot is Steve the Spud! Yeah, this can't be good.

After accidentally causing the mascot to sprain an ankle, Ben is sentenced to mascot duty for the final basketball games of the year. But if the other kids know he's the Spud, his plans for popularity are likely to be a big dud! Ben doesn't want to let the team down, so he lies to his friends to keep the embarrassing gig a secret. No one will know it's him in the potato suit, right?

The game is on! Readers will cheer for this laugh-out-loud story of friendships, middle school bullies, and the truth about being cool . . . or at least being cool with being yourself.
