Class Action
By: Steven Frank
Review:
In Class Action, you can join Sam Warren in his attempt to abolish homework FOREVER. There are a lot of books out there about getting rid of homework, but Class Action is better than all of them because it explains the process of making that kind of change more clearly. Sam’s case starts in his classroom and travels up to the Supreme Court. There are many types of characters in Class Action, including junior chef Alistair, computer geek Sean, big sister Sadie, mathematician Catalina, and helpful old neighbor Mr. Kalman, so that most readers can find someone to relate to. In this book, you learn a lot about the court system and the judicial branch of the government. If you dislike homework, this is the book for you.

Official book description:
NO. MORE. HOMEWORK.
That’s what sixth grader Sam Warren tells his teacher while standing on top of his desk. He's fed up with doing endless tasks from the time he gets home to the time he goes to sleep. Suspended for his protest, Sam decides to fight back. He recruits his elderly neighbor/retired attorney Mr. Kalman to help him file a class action lawsuit on behalf of all students in Los Angeles. Their argument? Homework is unconstitutional.
With a ragtag team—aspiring masterchef Alistair, numbers gal Catalina, sports whiz Jaesang, rebel big sister Sadie and her tech-savvy boyfriend Sean—Sam takes his case to federal court. He learns about the justice system, kids’ rights, and constitutional law. And he learns that no matter how many times you get knocked down, there's always an appeal...until the nine justices have the last say.
Will Sam's quest end in an epic fail, or will he be the hero who saves childhood for all time?
