Bookroo's summary

A storm forces six quirky students into a cramped school bathroom, where they must navigate their differences and a stuffed cat. As hijinks unfold, will they emerge as friends or foes? Discover the unexpected bonds formed in the most unlikely of places.

From the publisher

From three-time Newbery Honor author Gary Paulsen comes a laugh-out-loud novel about six wacky misfits who get stuck together in a school restroom and discover friendship. It seemed like a normal school day, until a horrible storm forced the very cautious school administration to make everyone hole up in a safe place. Six students find themselves stuck in a tiny, questionably smelly space–a school bathroom–with a stuffed cat for entertainment. Hijinks ensue and the unexpected happens. They enter as strangers…and leave as friends. Get to know the story even better with a special script that accompanies the novel, so any six kids can get together with their friends and perform the story anywhere they’d like.
