Part of the Robert Series series
A student competes for a golden treasure chest, facing unexpected challenges and rivals.
Robert, always overshadowed by his brother, sees a chance to shine when his teacher announces a contest. The prize? A golden treasure chest. But with perfect Susanne Lee as his rival, Robert must outdo himself. From helping other classrooms to presenting a quirky Inventions Day report, and even solving a school mystery, Robert's determination is tested. Can he finally earn his moment of glory, or will his efforts fall short? Dive into this humorous tale of ambition, rivalry, and unexpected twists.
This wonderfully written, funny young chapter book – already a hit with kids, as it’s been in the school market – is sure to fly off the shelves at bookstores nationwide. Robert has never won any awards or medals – unlike his older brother Charlie. So when Mrs. Bernthal holds a contest in her classroom and the winner gets to keep a beautiful golden treasure chest for being a model student, Robert goes all out. Will his becoming a helper for other classrooms in the school do the trick? Or his Inventions Day report on the toilet bowl? Or his expert sleuthing that uncovers the mysterious book scribbler? Are his efforts even worth it since he’s competing against little-miss-perfect Susanne Lee?
