About this ebook
The seventh book in a hilarious chapter book series about an accidental rule breaker from Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal–winning and bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan, Endling, and Wishtree.
If Roscoe guesses the weight of a giant pumpkin, he’ll win a bunch of new books for the school library and a ton of candy! Easy, right? But a little black cat keeps trying to cross his path! Will the bad-luck kitty jinx Roscoe and ruin his chance to win?
Roscoe and his comical misadventures will appeal to fans of Megan McDonald’s Stink series; Nancy Krulik’s George Brown, Class Clown series; Rebecca Elliott’s Owl Diaries series; and Dan Gutman’s My Weirder School series.

Welcome to Time-Out
Hey, friend! Over here, in the time-out corner.
It’s me, Roscoe.
I’m pretty sure I only have to stay in time-out for about three more minutes.
That should be plenty of time for me to tell you how I ended up here.
Oops.
Mom checked the clock. Turns out I have seven more minutes.
I thought seven was supposed to be a lucky number!
My teacher says when you think a number is lucky, that’s called a superstition.
She says there’s no such thing as a lucky number.
And that seven is just like eight and forty-seven and a gazillion.
A plain, old, everyday number.
I used to think lots of things were lucky.
Things like numbers and four-leaf clovers and horseshoes.
I used to think lots of things were unlucky, too.
That’s sort of how I ended up in time-out.
One thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was being chased down the street by a humongous pumpkin.
And let me tell you, those guys can MOVE.
You’ve been chased by a giant piece of food before, haven’t you?
No?
How about normal-size food?
Not even a little bitty grape?
Oh.
I guess being chased by food doesn’t come up all that often.
But I can explain everything.
Have you got seven minutes to spare?

Something You Should Know
Before We Get Started
When a kitty rubs her face on your leg, she is just saying hello.
It does not mean she is wondering how you will taste for dinner.
