Zack Delacruz: Me and My Big Mouth (Zack Delacruz, Book 1) by Jeff Anderson
Zack Delacruz is unnoticed at his middle school. But a school assembly, a typhoon of spit and an uncharacteristic moment of bravery are all it takes to change everything. Suddenly, Zack is in charge of the class fundraiser. Worse, his partner is the school's biggest bully! If they don't sell all the chocolate bars.“Zack . . . is a sympathetic narrator, and Anderson spiritedly renders the voices and personalities of preteens, many of Mexican descent, in a blue-collar section of San Antonio, Tex. . . . [A] pleasantly satisfying finish.” —Publishers Weekly
