Bookroo's summary

Eighth-grader Wyatt Palmer's class trip to Washington, D.C. takes a wild turn when his friend Matt steals suspicious luggage from two mysterious men. As they navigate the chaos, Wyatt and his friends, including the daring Suzana, find themselves entangled in a potential threat to the president. With teachers losing patience and danger lurking, can they unravel the mystery before it's too late? This fast-paced adventure blends humor and suspense as the kids race against time in the nation's capital.

From the publisher

In this hilarious novel, written in the voice of eighth-grader Wyatt Palmer, Dave Barry takes us on a class trip to Washington, DC. Wyatt, his best friend, Matt, and a few kids from Culver Middle School find themselves in a heap of trouble-not just with their teachers, who have long lost patience with them-but from several mysterious men they first meet on their flight to the nation’s capital. In a fast-paced adventure with the monuments as a backdrop, the kids try to stay out of danger and out of the doghouse while trying to save the president from attack-or maybe not.
