The Unteachables

Perfect for lovers of Ms. Bixby's Last Day, this hilarious new middle grade story from famous and bestselling author Gordon Korman explores what happens when the worst teacher is matched with the worst class of students in the school.

A infamous group of misfits, criminals, and academic disasters is known as the Unteachables. Such as Parker, who is illiterate, Kiana, who doesn't even belong in the class, much alone any class, Elaine (who rhymes with pain), and Aldo, who struggles with controlling his rage. The Unteachables are now secluded in room 117 and have been taken out of the student body.

Mr. Zachary Kermit, their instructor, is the most exhausted educator in the whole town of Greenwich. He was once a rising celebrity, but a cheating scandal that still haunts him destroyed his career. He has been putting in too much work for years, but now he is just a year away from retiring early. However, the superintendent has other ideas on how to destroy that plan, and one of them is putting Mr. Kermit in charge of the Unteachables.

The Unteachables never imagined that they would come across an instructor with a worse attitude than themselves. And Mr. Kermit never imagined that he would be really interested in teaching once again. But throughout the course of the academic year, room 117 will see chaos, devastation, and maybe even a chance at redemption.
