Bookroo's summary

On the first day of third grade, the classroom is a battlefield of spelling tests and bullies. But recess brings a twist: Ramon, the World Yo-yo Champion, dazzles everyone with his King Tut Royal Egyptian Yo-yo. Can this unexpected encounter change the course of the day and inspire a new passion? Discover how a simple yo-yo can transform a mundane school day into an unforgettable adventure.

From the publisher

It is the first day of school. The first day of third grade. Between Mrs. Mousetrap’s miserable spelling tests and the arm-twisting antics of smelly, candy-sucking Richard Newton, it’s already looking ugly. Then comes recess–and Ramon: The World Yo-yo Champion appears with his awesome King Tut Royal Egyptian Yo-yo. Even Richard Newton is in awe. With bobbing, humming, sparkling speed, Daniel Pinkwater and Jack E. Davis draw us into a dizzyingly satisfying tale of yo-yo success.
