Pack of Dorks

By: Beth Vrabel

Narrated by: Cassandra Morris

Lucy knows that kissing Tom Lemmings behind the ball shed will make her a legend. But she doesn’t count on that quick clap of lips propelling her from coolest to lamest fourth grader overnight. Suddenly Lucy finds herself trapped in Dorkdom, where a diamond ring turns your finger green, where the boy you kiss hates you three days later, where your best friend laughs as you cry, where parents seem to stop liking you, and where baby sisters are born different. Now Lucy has a choice: she can be like her former best friend Becky, who would do anything to claim her seat at the cool table in the cafeteria, or Lucy can pull up a chair among the solo eaters - also known as the dorks. Still unsure, Lucy partners with super quiet Sam Righter on a research project about wolves. Lucy connects her own school hierarchy with what she learns about animal pack life - where some wolves pin down weaker ones just because they can, and others risk everything to fight their given place in the pack. Soon Lucy finds her third option: creating a pack of her own, even if it is simply a pack of dorks. Weaving tough issues, including bullying, loyalty, and disability, with a thread of snarky humor, family bonds, and fresh perspective, Pack of Dorks paints characters coming-of-age and coming-to-terms. Beth Vrabel’s stellar debut contemporary middle grade novel is sure to please fans of Jack Gantos, Elizabeth Atkinson, and Judy Blume.

Great book

I’m loving this book I’ve read this book so many times . Lusy learns a good lesson about something not taught in school.Friendship .It’s a good reading level fo 3d though 5th grade.

Funny Listen for Tweens

A great story for tweens. Well-written, funny, at times poignant. Overall it was an entertaining listen and had me laughing. Cassandra was an excellent narrator- really matched all the characters and kept us interested the whole time.

A story of friendships

It was a very true story. It showed what happens in 4th grade. Meanies, bullies, new friend groups, and loneliness. It was very well performed. Cassandra was a very good person to Marat this book. It was an excellent book. I did t want to stop it!

Love love, love love love love love it 😊
