Bookroo's summary

Ben, Jill, and Robert face their toughest challenge yet: saving their beloved school from being replaced by an amusement park. With only three days left, they must outsmart the determined janitors, Lyman and Wally, who are set on keeping the demolition on track. As the clock ticks down, the stakes rise. Will the Keepers of the School triumph, or will their efforts crumble along with the building? Dive into this thrilling conclusion to discover if friendship and determination can overcome the odds.

From the publisher

Time is almost out for the Keepers of the School in this fifth Keepers adventure from Andrew Clements, the master of the school story. The Keepers of the School–known to their friends as Ben, Jill, and Robert–have one last chance to save their school before it’s torn down to make room for a seaside amusement park. But their nemeses, Janitors Lyman and Wally, are just as determined to keep the kids out of the way and the demolition on schedule. One way or the other, this battle is about to come to a head. When all is said and done, will the school still be standing? Or will everything the Keepers have fought for be destroyed?
