Josh and his new friends, Wang and Magnolia, form a club called Dunces Anonymous so they can get out of doing the things their parents expect of them, like becoming class president or playing Juliet in the school play. - Orca Book Publishers
Josh Johnson's mother wants him to run for class president. Josh just wants to run and hide. If only there were a club to help downtrodden eleven-year-olds escape their parents' ambitions! But since no such club exists, Josh has to invent oneâhe calls it Dunces Anonymous, and before he knows it, the membership is up to three.
Magnolia and Wang help Josh lose the school presidential election, but that's just the beginning of the club's activities. Magnolia, pressured by her mom into trying out for the role of Juliet in the school's play, finds herself fending off the advances of an overly amorous Romeo. Wang's father has forced him to join the school chess club, but Wang desperately wants to take fencing lessons instead.
As the three friends try to free Magnolia from the school play, liberate Wang from the chess club and get rid of horrible Stacey Hogarth, who has vowed to become the new president of Dunces Anonymous, they realize that they all have talentsâif only their parents could see them. - Orca Book Publishers
Josh forms a club to help kids whose parents have unrealistic expectation of them, and in the process learns what it really means to be a leader.
