    About this ebook

    As a rule, school fund-raising is no fun. But Zeke Meeks is determined to become the best fund-raiser around. After all, the student who sells the most cake mixes will win four tickets to Thrillsville amusement park. There's just one problem. Zeke is a terrible salesperson. Maybe his great grandma can teach him a thing or two about selling.

      Zeke Meeks vs the No-Fun Fund-Raiser - D.L. Green

      Principal

      My teacher, Mr. McNutty, said the three worst words in the universe: Time for math.

      Ugh. I hated math time. There is nothing worse than learning math.

      Except for insects. I’m scared of insects. But that’s the only thing worse than math.

      Also, Grace Chang is worse than math. She’s an evil girl in my class with long, sharp, evil fingernails.

      But there’s nothing else worse than math. Except maybe a gigantic bomb so powerful it would wipe out the entire world. That would be terrible, but at least it would destroy all the math books.

      Turn to page forty-six in your math textbooks, Mr. McNutty said.

      I opened my textbook with a frown. Actually, I opened it with my hand. But I had a frown on my face while I did it.

      Mr. McNutty said, Let’s explore the metric system of measure —

      He was interrupted by a loud, long bell.

      My frown turned into a smile. We were having a fire drill! Hooray! I rushed to the classroom door. Mr. McNutty led everyone outside.

      I hope we get to skip math today, I told my best friend, Hector Cruz.

      I hope it’s just a drill and not a real fire, he said.

      Oh, yeah. That too, I said.

      A few minutes later, our principal said, This is just a drill. There’s no fire. Everyone please return to class with your teacher.

      Mr. McNutty quickly led us back to our classroom. He said, Let’s get started on the math lesson.

      I frowned again.

      Laurie Schneider raised her hand.

      Please save your questions until after we talk about the assignment, the teacher said.

      But —

      We have a lot of math to cover, he said.

      Then Laurie threw up all over her desk.

      Mr. McNutty sighed. I suppose you were trying to tell me you felt sick.

      Laurie nodded.

      I’m sorry, he said.

      After Laurie went to the nurse’s office and the janitor cleaned up the vomit, Mr. McNutty said, Finally, let’s start the math lesson.

      Then the principal’s voice came over the loudspeaker. She said,

      Mr. McNutty asked, How will I ever get time to teach math?

      I hoped he never would.

      We went to the auditorium. A woman stood onstage by a large box. She said, I’m Mrs. Smedley, the president of the PTA. Do you kids like cake?

      Everyone cheered.

      Wouldn’t you love your choice of delicious chocolate, vanilla, or lemon cake? Mrs. Smedley asked.

      Everyone cheered again.

      I stared at the big box. I bet it contained three huge cakes for everyone to
