- Ned Vizzini It’s Kind of a Funny StoryClay McLeod Chapman is a terrific new voice. The zings in Homeroom Headhunters show that he understands how 7th graders talk, act, and—most importantly—think.
The Tribe: Homeroom Headhunters
Part one of the Tribe trilogy
School is in session, and today's lesson is how to stay alive. Spencer Pendleton better take notes. He'll have to learn the Law of Claw and Fang to survive not just the bullies, but those who bully the bullies: the Tribe, a group of academic headhunters who don't play by anyone's rules except their own. They live off cafeteria food and wield weapons made out of everyday school supplies. They've made Greenfield Middle their hunting ground… and they're looking for new blood.
With a darkly candid sense of humor, author Clay McLeod Chapman reveals the wilder side of middle school, where students embrace their inner animal and go native.
