Dave Barry has the pulse of middle schooler logic submitted by valeriemates on June 20, 2021, 10:59am I'm an adult and a longtime fan of Dave Barry's humor columns. I picked up this book because I was curious to see what he is writing now. It's about an airplane full of middle schoolers who go on a field trip to Washington DC. Dave Barry has a strong sense of the logic and decisionmaking skills of middle schoolers. The students think that they have spotted a terrorist plot, and because they are kids they know that nobody is going to believe them, so they decide to foil the terrorists themselves. Some really wild events follow, with a gorgeous romp through historic locations in Washington DC. The climax of the book left an amazing picture in my head that is going to stick with me, in a good way, for a *long* time.

Whether or not you are in middle school, I recommend this book!
