The laugh-out-loud account of ten-year-old Stoob s Incredibly Dangerous Exam Adventure featuring a boy, his friends, his parents and a most villainous crow.

It s February, and Stoob is glad that he s almost done with Class Five given the not-so-great year he has been having, middle school can only be an improvement. But just before he can heave a final sigh of relief, there s an announcement: the class test marks have all been cancelled, and getting through to middle school depends on one giant exam!

And that s how it starts, the whole nightmare that his future biographers will call Stoob s Incredibly Dangerous Exam Adventure. His life is turned upside down when his parents don t want him to do anything other than study, his friends Ishani and Rehan suddenly go all pious and goody-goody-study-buddy, and best friend Prithvi comes up with a Top Secret Plan to ace the exams without studying. Add to that a crow and some monkeys out to get him, and Stoob is about ready to have a nervous breakdown.

From bestselling author Samit Basu, this is one adventure that anyone who has ever taken an exam won t want to miss.
