Nobody Beats Dave: The Cool Kid Problem

Dave knows who he is. At least, he thinks he does.

Then the coolest kid in school decides Dave is not cool enough.

Suddenly the things Dave likes feel embarrassing, the people he trusts seem less impressive and every choice feels like a test. Being accepted begins to matter far more than Dave expected—and fitting in may cost him more than he wants to admit.

Nobody Beats Dave: The Cool Kid Problem is a funny and thoughtful middle-grade story about popularity, peer pressure and learning that the loudest opinion in the room is not always the one that matters.

Perfect for readers aged 9–12 who enjoy realistic school stories, complicated friendships and characters who make mistakes before finding their way.
