About this audiobook
Once again Douglas Fairchild is starting a new school in Washington, D.C. The teachers in the private schools he has attended didn't understand him-maybe because he is from Pefkakia. Now he will make a fresh start in sixth grade at Thaddeus G. Little, a public middle school. After telling the bus driver how to drive and refusing to do his homework, Doug finds himself in the worst possible situation. He must join the after hours discussion group for misfits, better known as the Twinkie Squad. Everyone has always made fun of the Twinkies, but Doug is about to change all that. Award-winning author Gordon Korman captures a growing audience of readers with his entertaining books about the problems young adults encounter. His hilarious The Twinkie Squad is guaranteed to keep readers laughing out loud as Doug learns to accept his new classmates and most of all, himself. The spirited young man and his colorful classmates burst from the pages with L.J. Ganser's vivid narration.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brought back childhood memories of reading this book when it first came out
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Funny enough to make me laugh out loud several times!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Still as funny as when I was twelve. One od my favourite authors even though the language is a bit dated it does hold up overall.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I listened to the audio book so many times as a kid and am pleased to say the story holds up in all its ridiculous glory. I think about that squid in the ceiling all the time.
