A hilarious fresh middle grade novel from beloved and bestselling writer Gordon Korman in what happens when the worst class of children in college is paired with the worst teacher-perfect for followers of Ms. Bixby’s Last Time.

The Unteachables are a notorious class of misfits, delinquents, and academic train wrecks. Like Aldo, with anger administration issues; Parker, who can’t go through; Kiana, who doesn’t even belong in the class-or any course; and Elaine (rhymes with discomfort). The Unteachables have already been taken out about The Unteachables from your student body and isolated in room 117.

Their teacher is Mr. Zachary Kermit, one of the most burned-out teacher in all of Greenwich. He was once a rising celebrity, but his career was shattered with a cheating scandal that still haunts him. After years of phoning it in, he’s finally one year away from early pension. But the superintendent has his own programs to torpedo that idea-and it requires assigning Mr. Kermit to the Unteachables.

The Unteachables hardly ever thought they’d find a teacher who had a worse attitude than they did. And Mr. Kermit by no means thought he would actually care about teaching again. During the period of a college year, though, area 117 will experience mayhem, destruction-and maybe a good shot at redemption.
