To the students at exclusive Greycliff Academy, Kirby seems to have it all: charm, brains, and a lucky streak that won't quit. He's also the notorious mastermind behind the snarky videos, "7 Good Reasons Not to Grow Up," which expose how being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be. Why would any kid want to become one of them?

But there's also a mystery about Kirby. And when his best friend, Raja, finds out that Kirby isn't the person he's pretending to be, Kirby, Raja, and their friends may be forced to grow up sooner than they think and face the world head-on.

Chloe ★★★★★

My kid tore through this in one sitting, which says a lot since he usually abandons books after two pages. The whole setup with Kirby running those snarky videos at Greycliff Academy is such a fun hook, and the humor actually lands for adults too.

Kevin ★★★★★

The snarky video concept had me grinning from the first chapter—Kirby's voice is so sharply funny it feels like you're watching the sketches come alive. It's a quick, clever read that nails the middle-school vibe without talking down to kids.

Violet E. ★★★★★

My daughter tore through this in one sitting and then immediately re-read the funny parts out loud to me. Kirby's snarky video idea is such a smart hook for kids who think they're too cool for books.
