Deze serie volgt de avonturen van buitenbeentjes die weigeren zich aan te passen en zo een onverwachte vriendschap smeden. Samen trotseren ze de uitdagingen van het schoolleven, met name pesten, en overwinnen ze deze met slimheid en humor. De verhalen zitten vol subtiele humor, een vleugje ironie en visuele grappen die jonge lezers aanspreken die op zoek zijn naar vermakelijke en herkenbare avonturen. Het is een viering van individualiteit en de kracht van samenzijn, zelfs als de groep een beetje vreemd is.
Nick is stuffed in his locker. Again. It's not so bad. Lockers are roomier than you'd think. Especially when you're the shortest kid on the planet, which is exactly why Bully-Boy Roy stuffed him in there in the first place: he fits. The school counselor says Roy has issues. The only issue Nick can see is that Roy is a mutant troll.
After taming the school's biggest bully, Nick, Molly and Karl expect to bask in Safety Patrol glory. But without a bully to set straight, all they're left with is helping sixth graders cross the hall and reminding everyone that Jell-o meat stains. Enter new kid Simone, who shakes up the team and soon Nick is facing trouble. Big trouble. Explusion-level trouble. He needs help, and fast, because if there's one thing worse than being the shortest seventh grader in the history of the world, it's having to go through it twice.
Nick, Molly and Karl have nowhere to turn but to each other in the latest Odd Squad adventure, and they'll need every ounce of wit, resourcefulness and help they can get in order to rise above their biggest challenge yet. Published in thirteen countries worldwide, this is the third in the brilliant series from Michael Fry.
