    About this ebook

    The second 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.

    When Roscoe’s stuffed pig, Hamilton, goes missing, he is convinced that Wyatt, the class bully, is responsible. When Roscoe finds out where Wyatt keeps his teddy bear, he decides to give that pignapper a taste of his own medicine. That will fix everything. Won’t it?

    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

      Welcome to the Official Roscoe Riley Time-out Corner.

      It’s nice to have some company.

      Getting stuck in time-out can be awfully boring.

      Thing is, I got in a teensy bit of trouble. Again.

      Even though I really, truly didn’t mean to.

      You know, it’s hard for a guy like me to keep track of so many rules.

      So I’ve started keeping a list.

      This time I broke rule number 214: Do not kidnap your classmate’s teddy bear.

      And hide him in the dirty clothes basket.

      Who knew?

      You’ve bear-napped before, right?

      Oh.

      Bunny-napped? Pig-napped? Kangaroo-napped?

      Oh.

      Well, looking back, I guess it does seem like a bad idea.

      But maybe you’ll understand better if I tell you the whole story. . . .

      Something You Should Know

      Before We Get Started

      You are never too old to love a stuffed animal.

      I’ll bet one of your favorite grown-ups has an old teddy bear hidden in a closet.

      And I’ll bet it has a silly name too.

      Like Hugaboo. Or Mr. Tickletoes. Or Poopzilla.

      Why do people always give their stuffed animals such crazy names?

      Search me. I named my stuffed pig Hamilton.

      He is way too cool to be called Poopzilla.
