What Are the Odds?: The Tommy Patterson Chronicles

What if picking 7 numbers could make your dreams come true in the sixth grade—or make it your biggest nightmare? Tommy Patterson is a master of lazy shortcuts and one-liners. So when he wins a mysterious Golden Ticket that gives him straight A’s for the rest of the year, it’s like hitting the academic jackpot. No tests. No homework. No effort. Just pure academic glory. But Tommy’s dream life quickly spirals into a hilarious nightmare when he starts making way too many promises to way too many people—trading the ticket for scooters, pizza, concert passes... even possibilities of love. Now, everyone wants the prize, his friends are fed up, and sixth grade is turning into one giant mess. Can Tommy fix his epic mistake and save his social life before it all crashes down? Or will he flunk friendship—and middle school—completely?
