    About this ebook

    The hilarious chapter book series about an accidental rule breaker from Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal–winning and bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan and Crenshaw, returns with a fresh new cover from artist Brian Biggs and bonus material!

    Roscoe’s first grade class is going on their first field trip ever to an apple orchard! It’s so much fun picking apples and seeing how applesauce is made. Ms. Diz, his teacher, expects the class to be on their very best behavior. And Roscoe tries—he really does—but somehow he still manages to land in a very sticky situation.

    Roscoe and his comical misadventures will appeal to fans of Megan McDonald’s Stink series, Nancy Krulik’s George Brown, Class Clown series, and Dan Gutman’s My Weirder School series. This repackaged edition includes Roscoe Riley’s Time-Out Activities, featuring lists, games, and more.

      Welcome to Time-Out

      Yep. It’s me. Roscoe Riley.

      Stuck in time-out again.

      And speaking of stuck, have I got a story for you!

      A very sticky story.

      See, my class went on a field trip to an apple farm.

      A field trip is when you go somewhere more fun than even recess and lunch put together.

      We went to an apple farm so we could learn about where our food comes from.

      Besides the pizza delivery guy.

      All the kids went. And our teacher.

      And some moms and dads to make sure we didn’t get rowdy or do troublemaking.

      I didn’t get rowdy.

      Well, maybe just once or twice.

      But I did get into a teeny, tiny, practically invisible bit of trouble.

      Who knew there was a rule about not jumping into a giant tub of applesauce?

      I’ll bet you’ve done some applesauce swimming, haven’t you?

      No?

      Well, trust me on this. You should stick to swimming in real, live swimming pools.

      Applesauce is very . . . well, appley.

      But maybe I should start at the beginning.

      The part before I got apple-slimed.

      Something You Should Know

      Before We Get Started

      Worms are good for fishing and for scaring little sisters and sometimes dads.

      But they do not make a very good snack.

      I hear they taste sort of like mushy macaroni.
