ROMANCE OF THE SNOB SQUAD

Snob Squad was a ladies group of sixth grade students. The members of Snob Squad were Lydia, Prairie, Maxine, and Jenny. Jenny was the leader of Snob Squad. All of them had an idol boy in their school, except, Max. Prairie liked Hugh Torkerson, Lydia liked Nick Claussen, and Jenny liked Kevin Rooney.  Prairie was the person who was the most inspired to her idol. She wanted to go with her idol in spring fling. So, the first project for Snob Squad was to getting Hugh to ask Prairie to the dance in spring fling. They only had four weeks before the dance. They called it, Operation Love in The Afternoon.

However, at the same time, their teacher, Mr. Biekmund volunteered their class to represent the whole school for sixth grade science fair. And the Snob Squad was determined to come up with a winning project. They planned to train rat to run an obstacle course. They wanted building tunnels and mazes. And at the end, the rat could ring a bell. Their science project was called the Extreme Rat-o-Rama.

Turn out their science project could keep pace with their first project. So, during the science project, Prairie often met Hugh, because they were classmate in science. Whereas, Hugh also helped Jenny to meet Kevin, because Kevin was his close friend and he also liked Jenny.

Unfortunately, after all of their efforts and Mr. Biekmund said that their project was excellent, the rat shuddered all over, closed its eyes and died. So they didn’t win the science prize. They just could make gathering for Prairie and Hugh in spring fling dance. 

I think, the book is interesting to be read. I was consoled by the story because the story is full of laughter. And the only could make me pride is their brilliant ideas, especially about training rat.
