Warning: May cause uncontrollable laughter, minor food explosions, and the sudden desire to build a spaghetti volcano.

Everything in Here Was a Bad Idea is the brilliantly chaotic tale of William-a wildly imaginative kid with a gift for turning regular days into unforgettable disasters. Whether he's launching whipped cream in a bounce house, impersonating a raccoon for a school project, or accidentally awakening a robotic T-Rex at the museum, William's "ideas" always go sideways-and that's what makes them unforgettable.

This laugh-out-loud collection features:

• A volcano made of mashed potatoes and meatballs
• A birthday party turned whipped cream trampoline
• A turtle with royal fashion sense
• A jelly haircut (don't ask)
• A full-on indoor recess revolution
• And a secret library laser grid (yes, really)

With short, punchy chapters and bold illustrations, Everything in Here Was a Bad Idea is perfect for fans of Dog Man, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Captain Underpants. It's an epic win for readers who love humor, chaos, and heart-especially the ones who've been told, "That's not what we meant by use your imagination."

Because sometimes the worst ideas make the best stories.
