Revenge of the Snob Squad

Revenge of the Snob Squad is a delightful chapter book about an underdog group of elementary schoolers who find friendship and self-worth while navigating the social challenges of gym class. Jenny, Prairie, Lydia, and Max, initially seen as misfits, band together to take on the 'Neon Nikes,' a team led by the school's resident bully. The story humorously explores themes of bullying, self-acceptance, teamwork, and finding strength in individuality. It's a great read for children aged 7-10 who might be struggling with fitting in or dealing with mean kids, offering a positive message about friendship and resilience.

When the relay race teams are chosen in gym class, it's clear that one team doesn't have a chance of winning: Jenny is more interested in eating candy than running around a track; Prairie has a bad leg; Lydia is a complete klutz; and Max is, well, Max. But together, they proudly dub themselves the 'Snob Squad' and vow revenge on their arch enemies, the Neon Nikes, headed by the principal's spoiled daughter, Ashley Krupps. As the Snob Squad members band together to thwart the Neon Nikes, they realize that their greatest weapon might not be as out of reach as they think.
