Bookroo's summary

Mason Dixon dreads fourth grade because it means joining the school choir and singing in front of everyone. Desperate to avoid the spotlight, he crafts a plan to escape concert night. But in Mason's world, plans never go as expected, leading to unexpected chaos. Will Mason find a way to face his fears, or will his foolproof plan unravel into disaster? Dive into this humorous tale of mishaps and discover if Mason can outsmart his own anxieties.

From the publisher

Here’s the second entry in Claudia Mills’s charming middle-grade series, that finds the lovably sardonic title character starting the fourth grade, which he’s dreading because everyone in fourth grade is expected to join the school choir. And sing. In front of everyone. Mason can’t think of many things he enjoys less than singing–but performing in front of other people might come close. Mason devises a foolproof plan that will keep him out of the spotlight on concert night. Of course, in the world of Mason Dixon, there is no such thing as a foolproof plan. There is only disaster.
