Milo Moss Is Officially Un-Amazing

Milo Moss is on a mission—to stop his family’s epic losing streak by breaking a world record. But when their attempt to set the record for “most people dressed as cockroaches” ends in disaster (and a lot of antenna-related shame), Milo’s dream takes a nosedive. With his best friend/nephew (yes, it’s complicated) pressuring him to spill some inconvenient truths and a school full of classmates waiting to pounce on his next failure, Milo teams up with an unlikely ally to stop the madness. Along the way, he discovers that being “un-amazing” might not be so bad after all—and that winning doesn’t always mean coming in first.

Who Will Love This Book:

Milo Moss Is Officially Un-Amazing is perfect for middle-grade readers who love laugh-out-loud stories with big heart, like The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl or Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This is a must-read for kids who’ve ever felt the pressure to be the best, struggled with complicated family dynamics, or learned that sometimes failure is the best teacher. With its mix of outrageous humor and genuine life lessons, this book will especially resonate with readers who root for the underdog and appreciate a good dose of chaos (cockroach costumes included).
