About this audiobook

Summary

Rufus Rodriguez loves recess more than anything—until Jefferson Elementary's new principal replaces it with mandatory exercise drills. When the adults won't listen, eleven-year-old Rufus decides to fight back. With his best friends by his side, he launches a secret resistance to save playtime. But when they're caught, Rufus must find a way to prove that fun isn't just fun—it actually matters. Can one kid really change the rules?

I loved it. This was a great book to teach kids to always stand up for what is right

★★★★★

The theme and the excitement also the teamwork

Bouraoui
★★☆☆☆

Personally I think the story moved a bit fast and it’s just went from one thing to another without any explaining on how or why

Crystal
★★★★★

I love that he was not scared to speak up to the principal
