Bookroo's summary

Carson Cooper's first day at Hopewell Elementary takes a magical turn when he discovers Locker 37, rumored to solve any problem. Faced with an embarrassing stain, Carson finds an eraser inside the locker. But this isn't any ordinary eraser—it erases anything it touches three times. As Carson navigates the unexpected consequences, he must decide how to handle this powerful tool. Will he find a way to control the eraser's magic, or will it erase more than just his problems? Dive into a whimsical adventure where every solution comes with a twist.

From the publisher

A laugh-out-loud tour de force. –Kirkus, starred review Ever wish you had a way to magically solve all of your problems? The kids at Hopewell Elementary School might have exactly what you’re searching for–just walk down the hall and stop at Locker 37. This highly illustrated series is a fun and accessible read, perfect for reluctant readers looking for a little magic! In the first book of the Locker 37 series, Carson Cooper realizes that he has a very inconveniently located stain on his pants. That is NOT the way to start things off on the first day of school. Fortunately, Carson finds a letter written by last year’s fourth graders stuck to the bottom of his desk with some watermelon bubble gum. The note explains the existence of Locker 37, which will provide a solution to any problem! And when Carson sneaks off to the locker it does, indeed, provide a solution–an eraser! But the problem is that the eraser works a little too well, erasing anything it’s rubbed against three times. ANYTHING.
