Playground Alert Level

A laugh-out-loud children‘s book for ages 8 and up about school, chaos, and friendship-perfect for reluctant readers with short chapters and lots of dialogue! Milo goes to Regelberg Elementary, the only school where you have to file an application just to have recess. Moving around? Only with a form. Laughing? Please wait until the big break. And if you sit even a little crooked, the Sit-Straight Alarm starts beeping. Then Inspector Dr. Otto Order from the Office of Calm & Rules shows up and announces a "Quiet Class Trip." Milo is sure it has to be a mistake. But at the youth hostel Stillview, something is seriously off: everyone becomes strangely well-behaved, unbelievably sleepy-and even Turbo whispers on purpose. (That‘s really suspicious!) Luckily, Milo isn‘t alone. Fina spots clues where others only see rules, and Turbo brings action-usually with harmless chaotic side effects. Together they uncover a secret humming in the basement: the YAWN-O-MAT, a boredom machine that should never have been built. Now there‘s only one mission left: Operation Laugh Alarm-before the Office switches the whole school to "FUN: OFF" forever. Perfect for: Kids ages 8-10 (and read-aloud for ages 6-8) Fans of funny school stories, classroom adventures, and friendship books Reluctant readers who want quick, exciting chapters and easy language Anyone who loves silly rules, secret missions, and big laughs
