Aladdin, 2025<\/p>\n

*A Junior Library Guild Selection<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In this hilarious illustrated middle grade novel in the vein of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and <\/span>Matt Sprouts and the Curse of the Ten Broken Toes<\/span>, a boy\u2019s time-travelling older self gives him an impossible mission: convince his class to be nice to their substitute teacher\u2026or risk the fate of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethan seems like a normal ten-year-old, but he has a secret. It\u2019s not that he\u2019s the one who accidentally filled the sunblock container with glue last summer or that he cracked the screen on his sister\u2019s phone and blamed it on their baby brother. (Those things may have happened, but they\u2019ve got nothing on this.) No, Ethan\u2019s secret is that he knows time travel is real\u2014because his future self keeps coming back to visit him.<\/p>\n

Lucky Ethan, right?<\/p>\n

Wrong<\/span>. Because when Ethan\u2019s future self shows up, he tends to bring bad news, and he\u2019s kind of bossy. (Not to mention he\u2019s always wearing super weird clothes.) This time around, he\u2019s asking Ethan to do one simple thing: make sure today\u2019s substitute teacher doesn\u2019t quit, or else one day she\u2019ll become an evil dictator who will destroy the planet. But his future self clearly forgot what fourth grade is like, because if there\u2019s one thing Ethan\u2019s class is great at (other than losing their homework), it\u2019s tormenting substitute teachers\u2026<\/p>\n

“A wildly unpredictable and hilarious novel about a disastrous substitute teacher, the complicated twists and turns of friendship, and how even the smallest choices can change the course of your life.”\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 – Courtney Sheinmel, author of My Pet Slime and The Secrets of Lovelace Academy\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
