Dave Davidson’s heart is in the right place. He believes it’s his mission to cure his friends of their fears. But his solutions are harebrained at best and often come with unintended and hilarious consequences. Afraid of dancing at the school dance? Dave’s got ways to fix that: sprain an ankle, eat expired food to get sick or even get yourself suspended for a few days. Have a public-speaking phobia? Dave has fixes for that too: get laryngitis, forge a note from a therapist or get your friends to hold up cue cards. This hilarious new novel will appeal to reluctant tween readers, especially boys.
