In this hilarious illustrated middle grade novel in the vein of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Matt Sprouts and the Curse of the Ten Broken Toes, a boyâs time-travelling older self gives him an impossible mission: convince his class to be nice to their substitute teacherâ¦or risk the fate of the world.
Ethan seems like a normal ten-year-old, but he has a secret. Itâs not that heâs the one who accidentally filled the sunblock container with glue last summer or that he cracked the screen on his sisterâs phone and blamed it on their baby brother. (Those things may have happened, but theyâve got nothing on this.) No, Ethanâs secret is that he knows time travel is realâbecause his future self keeps coming back to visit him.
Lucky Ethan, right?
Wrong. Because when Ethanâs future self shows up, he tends to bring bad news, and heâs kind of bossy. (Not to mention heâs always wearing super weird clothes.) This time around, heâs asking Ethan to do one simple thing: make sure todayâs substitute teacher doesnât quit, or else one day sheâll become an evil dictator who will destroy the planet. But his future self clearly forgot what fourth grade is like, because if thereâs one thing Ethanâs class is great at (other than losing their homework), itâs tormenting substitute teachersâ¦
