Synopsis
The fifth 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.
Roscoe loves to make noise and tap shoes make the best noise ever! But tap dancing? The big boys at his school say that’s just for girls. Roscoe promised his friend Emma that he would tap in the school talent show with her. When the teasing starts, will he keep his word?
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.

But my mom and dad see things a little differently.
Sometimes I wonder if they ever really were kids.
You'd think people who used to be kids would understand that sometimes a guy just really needs a good crutch. Or two.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
Well, maybe it is a little confusing.
I'll begin at the beginning of the beginning.
With my friend Emma's amazing, noisy shoes . . .
