The Unteachables

An uproarious middle‑grade novel, The Unteachables follows a group of notorious misfits—kids with anger issues, illiteracy, and utter chaos—banished to Room 117. Their reluctant teacher, Mr. Zachary Kermit, is equally burnt‑out. Assigned as a last resort, he expects a dull year, but instead finds himself surprising both students and himself. Over the school term, what begins as mayhem and destruction blossoms into teamwork, unexpected growth, and redemption. With humor, heart, and relatable school-day drama, Gordon Korman delivers a sharply funny underdog story that shows how even the most "unteachable" can thrive under the right guidance.
