Waiting on Wednesday: The Misadventures of Max Crumbly #1 Locker Hero by Rachel Renée Russell

WoW is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine in which we share the titles we can't wait to release.

Locker Hero by Rachel Renée Russell. The Misadventures of Max Crumbly #1. 320 p. Aladdin, June 7, 2016. 9781481460019.

Publisher synopsis: Max is about to face the scariest place he’s ever been—South Ridge Middle School! He has been home-schooled by his grandmother until now, and he’s begged his parents to finally let him start attending public middle school. He’s starting to question that choice, though, with the Thomas Silver Problem. As in, Thomas Silver keeps stuffing Max in his locker.

If only Max could be like the hero in all the comics he likes to read—or the ones he draws—and magically escape the locker and defeat Tommy. Unfortunately, Max’s uncanny, almost superhuman ability to smell pizza from a block away won’t exactly save any lives or foil bad guys. But that doesn’t mean Max won’t do his best to be the hero his school needs!

The author's Dork Diaries are quite popular at my school. While that doesn't always guarantee crossover popularity, I will still add it to our collection.
