Synopsis

The fourth 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, Crenshaw, and Wishtree.

Roscoe's first grade class is going on their first field trip ever to an apple orchard! It's so much fun picking apples and seeing how applesauce is made. Ms. Diz, his teacher, expects the class to be on their very best behavior. And Roscoe tries--he really does--but somehow he still manages to land in a very sticky situation.

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.

Review:

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"
