The third book in a hilarious chapter book series about an accidental rule breaker from Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning and bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan, Endling, and Wishtree.
It seems like everyone has an award of some kind. Except Roscoe. But a pet-trick contest is coming up, and first prize is a big, shiny trophy. Roscoe really wants that trophy--would he even borrow someone else's dog to win?
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.

Chapter One
Welcome to Time-Out
Hey! Want to play?
Oops. I mean, want to play when I'm done with time-out?
I sort of kind of got in some trouble again.
'Cause I sort of kind of borrowed somebody's dog.
I only borrowed him so I could win a trophy.
A shiny, sparkly, silver trophy.
You've probably borrowed a dog before, right?
A cat? A gerbil? A tarantula?
Oh. Well, I had my reasons.
It's a long story, actually.
Usually when I end up in time-out, there's a long story to tell.
And since you're here anyway, I'll bet you'd like to hear it. . . .
