Bookroo's summary
Zack's class trip takes a bizarre turn when an insect bite leaves him speaking only in rhyme. At first, it's amusing, but soon the constant rhyming becomes a challenge he can't escape. As Zack navigates his new poetic predicament, he must find a way to break the spell before it disrupts his life completely. Can he solve the mystery of his rhyming curse, or will he be stuck speaking in verse forever? Discover the whimsical chaos and unexpected solutions in this rhyming adventure.
From the publisher
Zack goes on a class trip, gets an insect bite, and suddenly can’t speak a single word that isn’t in rhyme. Talking like a modern-day Shakespeare may be fun at first, but not when he can’t turn it off.
