High Score - Destiny Howell

Oceans 11 goes to the arcade in this wildly entertaining heist adventure that is perfect for fans of Gordon Korman, Varian Johnson, and Celia Perez. \n\n \nWe do this my way.\n \nNo one gets hurt.\n \nAnd if I call it off, it's off.\n \nGot it?\n \nMy name's Darius James-but everyone calls me DJ. At my old school, I was the go-to guy for all kinds of tricky problems that needed creative solutions. But at my new school, Ella Fitzgerald Middle, I'm just trying to blend in.\n \nWell, I was, anyway, until my best friend, Conor, got himself transferred to the Fitz too. Now Conor owes 100,000 arcade tickets to the biggest bully around-and he only has two weeks to make it happen. Impossible? Not with my head in the game.\n \n\n \n\n \nPraise for High Score: \n \nA fast-paced adventure packed with cunning twists. --Publishers Weekly, starred review\n \nA gleeful middle school spin on Ocean's Eleven. --Booklist, starred review\n \nAn exciting and entertaining heist story.--Kirkus Reviews\n
