Meet Junie B. Jones—the World’s Funniest First Grader—as she sets sail on her most hilarious adventure yet!

Room One is putting on a play about brave explorers searching for the New World, complete with ships, sea captains, and ocean-blue adventures. And guess what? Junie B. just knows she’s destined to be the star of the whole entire production! But as any seasoned sailor will tell you, smooth seas don’t make skilled sailors—and this theatrical voyage is headed straight into stormy waters.

Between actors catching the flu and bossy May trying to commandeer the show, Junie B. discovers that sailing the ocean blue is way harder than it looks. Will Room One’s production make it safely to shore, or are they headed for a theatrical disaster they’ll never forget?

Barbara Park’s New York Times bestselling chapter book series has kept kids laughing—and reading—for more than twenty-five years, with over 65 million copies sold! As Time magazine notes, “Junie B. Jones is a feisty six-year-old with an endearing penchant for honesty,” while Kirkus Reviews celebrates her as “a hilarious, first-rate read-aloud.”
