Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Connie on March 25, 2014

Gordon Korman fans tend to have strong feelings about his books. You can roughly divide them in half - the absolutely ridiculous, laugh until it hurts earlier books, and the somewhat more sober later ones. This one is definitely in the first category. When I was a kid, I must have read mine a dozen t......more

Goodreads review by Deann on December 05, 2013

I read this book so I would be able to help my daughter with her book report. I really liked it. I help in the daughter's school library and see kids checking his books out all the time. Nice little book about a group of outcasts that come together to be best friends and have the school look at them......more

Because sometimes I just really miss the books that got me interested in reading :) This was, and remains, a childhood classic to me. So ludicrous and ridiculous and fun. I can never forget that fish in the ceiling, anytime I think about this book.......more
