Every year the fifth graders participate in a Spirit Week competition that culminates in a Field Day. The winning team this year will get a prize. George and Lilly have been best friends forever and are sure they will be on the same team. But they are not. Instead they both end up being captains of the two teams. But it will be fine - may the best team win.
But... Lilly is very competitive and there are people on both sides who want to win at any cost. Some of the hijinks include stealing class pets, sliming lockers, dumping egg salad on the opposing team, and more. At first Lilly and George get caught up in everything and their friendship is in jeopardy but eventually they decide that their friendship is worth more and that teamwork and fair play are essential. Can they convince the rest of their teams or at least foul the sabotage attempts?
This was a cute book. I think it got a bit over the top and went a bit longer than it needed to but it was fun.
