    About this ebook

    The sixth 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.

    It seems like everyone in Roscoe’s class has Walkie-Talkies, the cool new shoes that let you talk to your friends, and his pal Gus wants a pair too. But Gus’s parents won’t buy them until his old, boring sneakers are worn out—and that could take forever. Luckily, if there’s one thing Roscoe is good at, it’s destroying things. . . .

    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.

      Welcome to Time-Out

      You know, being stuck in time-out isn’t so bad.

      If you bring your imagination along for company.

      Like right now.

      I may look like I’m just sitting in my time-out corner.

      But I’m pretending I’m playing baseball.

      I just hit sixteen home runs in a row!

      I am a baseball superstar.

      I have a gazillion fans. I’m a very cool guy.

      Inside my brain, anyway.

      In real life, I’m a pretty ordinary guy, to tell the truth.

      Although last week, I was one of the coolest kids in class for a while.

      Actually, being cool is why I’m here in time-out.

      Well, that’s not exactly the reason.

      I guess maybe the part where I destroyed my friend Gus’s sneakers might have something to do with it.

      I was just trying to help Gus be cool too.

      You’ve smushed up shoes for a good reason before, haven’t you?

      No?

      Not even to help out your best buddy?

      I guess maybe this does sound a little strange.

      Maybe I should back up a bit.

      To when this all started.

      The part before I was cool for two whole days.

      Something You Should Know

      Before We Get Started

      When a TV ad tells you THESE SHOES WILL NEVER WEAR OUT, do not believe them.

      When you have Destructo-feet, anything is possible.
