A documentary crew has descended upon Westside Middle School to detail the life of an average seventh grader named Trevor Jones and his classmates.
Using one-on-one interviews and film footage, as well as notebook drawings, blueprints, clipboard sketches, and doodles, they will tell the story of one school's tricked-out makeover. Say good-bye to those squeaky seats, and hello to beanbag chairs?

Gr 4-6 In the third book, seventh grader Trevor Jones and his friends are the subjects of a documentary film. The entire crew has come to Westside Middle School to record the school's upcoming "tricked out" makeover. With short chapters interspersed with illustrations, interview transcripts, and notebook entries, this series should attract reluctant or struggling readers. Though the characters are seventh graders, the text and design are more solidly in middle-grade territory. SLJ"
The school face-lift that overachieving seventh-grade class-president Libby scores from "the highest-rated school makeover reality show on TV" brings host Kip "Hottie McHotster" Lee and a second camera crew to Westside Middle School (already the setting for an ongoing reality show). It also opens multiple cans of worms for Libby with the discovery that beneath the razzle-dazzle, the makeover is largely a sham. AS in previous episodes of The Classroom, the on-camera conceit is readily abandoned for a lively mixture of inner ruminations and chapters of third-person narrative. More light school comedy, with frequent cartoon head shots, notebook pages, and illustrated high spots. John Peters Booklist Online"
