Middle School Misadventures, Operation: Hat Heist!

Middle School Misadventures, Operation: Hat Heist is about a boy named Newell who has a special hat that his dad got him. He and his dad watch their favorite show “The Captain” together. His dad got him a captain hat from the actor who plays “The Captain”. Newell loses his hat a lot. Sometimes it’s his fault, but sometimes other people take it.

The principal of his school, Mr. Todd, has a “no hat” rule and Newell’s hat gets locked away in the principal’s closet. Newell and his friends come up with a plan, a heist, to get all the hats that were locked in the principal’s closet back. The one hat they don’t get back is Newell’s captain’s hat. Luckily for Newell, it all works out for him in the end.

This is a fun story to read. There is a lot that happens, so you really have to pay attention to what’s going on from the beginning. The illustrator puts a lot of detail into the comic strips, which really makes the book interesting. I had a hard time putting the book down because it was funny and pretty easy to read. I would love to read about more misadventures and would definitely recommend this series to people.
