Bookroo's summary

Zack Delacruz prefers to stay unnoticed at school, but a surprising act of bravery thrusts him into the spotlight. Now, he's leading the class fundraiser with the school's biggest bully as his partner. If they fail to sell all the chocolate bars, the sixth-grade dance is canceled. Can Zack navigate this unlikely partnership and save the day, or will his classmates' hopes crumble? Dive into a tale of unexpected courage and unlikely alliances.

From the publisher

Zack Delacruz is unnoticed at his middle school—and that’s just the way he likes it. But a school assembly, a typhoon of spit, and an uncharacteristic moment of bravery are all it takes to change everything. Suddenly Zack is in charge of the class fundraiser. Worse, his partner is the school’s biggest bully! If they don’t sell all the chocolate bars, there will be no dance for the sixth grade. Zack never wanted to be a hero, but with his classmates’ hopes on the line, can he save the day?
