Reviews

[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

The President is going to visit the Swedhemp Elementary, and, of course, those who want to stop this, work against Dash and his friends. The four friends work together to save the day. Humor abounds and middle grade readers will appreciate the weirdness as the story unfolds.
