About this audiobook
Last year, Wyatt Palmer was the hero of middle school, having foiled a plot against the president of the United States. But now he and his friends are in Coral Cove High School—home of the Fighting Conchs—and Wyatt is no longer a hero: He’s just another undersized freshman, hoping to fit in, or at least not be unpopular. Things start to go wrong when Matt Diaz, who is Wyatt's best friend but also unfortunately an idiot, decides to bring his pet ferret, Frank, to school. Through an unfortunate series of events Frank ends up in the hands of the Bevin brothers, who are the most popular boys at Coral Cove High, but are also, as Matt soon discovers, the nastiest. When Wyatt and Matt try to get Frank back, they concoct a plan to attend a party for the cool clique at the Bevin's waterfront mansion and stumble onto the Bevin family's dark and deadly secret. That’s when Wyatt learns that some things are worse than being unpopular in high school. MUCH worse.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In "The Worst Class Trip Ever" Wyatt Palmer and his friends stumble into a ludicrously silly espionage plot against the United States government and save the day. In this sequel, Wyatt and his friends stumble into an equally ludicrously silly criminal plot in Miami. To enjoy these books, you must cast aside all desire for a believable story and go with the flow of Dave Barry's silly, slapstick sense of humor. If you can do that, then you will thoroughly enjoy this. But if you require something conceivable in a tale to be able to enjoy it, then put this one back on the shelf and move on to something else.
