A zany road trip adventure for fans of game shows and reality talent competitions like America’s Got Talent! Jason will stop at nothing to be a Maniac — a contestant on his favorite show. But when his mom makes a critical mistake, can he still make his dream come true?

When his parents surprise Jason with a family vacation to California, he is totally excited. Not only will he get to fly, he’ll have a chance to try out for Masquerade Mania, the planet’s ultimate trivia game show!

That’s before he learns that they will be camping cross-country in a sardine can (at least that’s what the prehistoric camper looks like). While Jason is willing to do just about anything for a chance to be on Mania, isn’t wearing pink underwear, enduring the stares of fellow campers, and putting up with his pain-in-the-neck sister above and beyond the call of duty?

“The story is as high energy as the game show itself, punctuated with witty details of the everyday life of junior-high boys and topped off with a highly satisfying, wish-fulfilling conclusion. . . . Light hearted summer reading fun.” —The Bulletin, Recommended

“This light, fun fiction marks a solid start for Roberts.” —Publishers Weekly

“This fast-paced first novel will be a big hit, especially with reluctant readers. The dialogue-packed story features over-the-top elements that . . . fit perfectly in this funny book.” —School Library Journal

“A series of hilarious disasters will leave the reader laughing out loud and wanting more. . . . This book needs a sequel!” —Children’s Literature
