Bookroo's summary

Alexander vows to be the Best Boy Ever after a jelly donut mishap leads to a bellyache and a stern warning from his mom. Determined to avoid consequences, he embarks on a quest to behave perfectly. But as fun and tempting activities arise, Alexander faces a dilemma: can he resist the allure of mischief, or will his resolve crumble under the weight of irresistible fun? Join Alexander on his hilarious journey as he navigates the tricky path of good behavior and discovers what it truly means to be the Best Boy Ever.

From the publisher

Alexander tries his hand at behaving in this hilarious companion to the bestselling classic Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Last night somebody ate a whole box of jelly donuts. That somebody woke up with a terrible bellyache, and that somebody’s mom found the empty box and told that somebody that there are going to be consequences. That somebody is Alexander, and Alexander really hates consequences. So from now on, he is going to try his best to be the Best Boy Ever. For the complete and entire rest of his life. Starting right this very minute. But there are all sorts of things that you can’t do when you’re being the Best Boy Ever. Fun things. Very important things. Things that Alexander might–just might–like a little bit more than he hates consequences.
