Beatrice Zinker has a new mission on her plate, and she and her friends will need to work extra hard to keep this one top secret.

Beatrice Zinker's top-secret plan, Operation Upside, is finally in full swing! And she's REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT! But when Beatrice impulsively awards her teacher, Mrs. Tamarack, a congratulatory certificate of her own—with the words Most Strict lettered in gold—the team has to put the entire mission on hold to avoid suspicion.

Lying low isn't exactly Beatrice's strong suit . . . and her classmate Wes desperately needs to be recognized. When Wes's certificate falls into the wrong hands, Beatrice and her best friend, Lenny, must find a way once again, to save Operation Upside—and themselves—from big trouble.

This highly illustrated chapter book series that's perfect for emerging readers celebrates a creative, compassionate kid who's fully herself and inspires others to embrace their individuality, again and again.
