A review by ubalstecha
The Detention Club by David Yoo

3.0

Peter and Drew thought they were popular. At least they used to be in Grade 5, but something happened over the summer. Their classmates have moved beyond collections and are more interested in the social scene. Peter and Drew are now the outcasts of the school. But Peter comes up with a plan to make them popular again. It involves them getting into trouble and joining the detention club.

This novel is slow to get going. This may be do to the painfully embarrassing situations the two friends get into, but by about the half-way point the story picks up. Would love to recommend this for the reluctant reader, but I can't given how long it takes to get going.
