INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

Dude Perfect brings tricks, flips, fist bumps, and that puzzling panda to middle school in this funny fiction series from YouTube’s biggest trick shot stars. In Operation Trick Shot, eighth graders Cory, Coby, Tyler, Garrett, and Cody have a growing video channel, mysterious new skills, and a knack for saving the world–one sport at a time.

In this first book for 8 to 12 year olds, the young dudes plan a trick shot show to raise money for the struggling neighborhood rec center where everyone plays basketball. But they airball at every move as they battle a shooting slump, twin jealousy, and a corporate big wig who cares more about charting profits than community spaces for kids. Plus Panda keeps disappearing! Can the Dudes make the shots, score a world record, and save the neighborhood court? And what is Panda planning behind the scenes?

This comedy-adventure

  • expands the world of Dude Perfect into a hilarious fictional realm where evil forces are trying to steal the joy of sports, backward hats have special powers, and cookies make anything possible;
  • features Panda as a behind-the-scenes mastermind who is always one step ahead of the guys;
  • combines sports, mystery, clean humor, and old-fashioned teamwork;
  • keeps kids reading to find out what crazy situations and stunts the dudes will get into next;
  • is the next favorite read for fans of Spy School and Last Kids on Earth; and
  • features graphic novel-style illustrations in each chapter.

Kids won’t want to miss this non-stop adventure with their favorite dudes and Panda. (Will we finally find out Panda’s true identity?) Parents will appreciate the wholesome themes that emerge as the Dude Perfect team navigates sticky situations.

This fast-paced, hilarious adventure story is a perfect gift for birthdays, holidays, or motivating your summer reader.

This is a really fun story. I found that it had everything a middle schooler would want. Trick shots, YouTubers, spies, adventure and a Panda. This book is just the beginning of a series of stories that feature the five guys from Dude Perfect. You know… Tall Guy, Beard, Twins, Purple Hoser… (do you hear the Overtime theme song in your head?).

For this brand new series the guys are middle school students who unbeknownst to them are also part of a covert team. It’s so covert that the Dude Perfect team has no idea they have been recruited. Only Panda knows about their missions. This particular book is a mission to save the neighborhood gym, which has been free to the public for many years, from a tycoon owner of a conglommeration of new fancy gyms that you have to pay to use.

Will the guys succeed in their mission to save the gym? You’ll have to read to find out. I recommend this fun series. It’s perfect for Dude Perfect fans and for middle schoolers everywhere.
