Weekend and Zay

Book 1 - Saturday School

Best friends Weekend and Zay seem like opposites. While Zay loves going to school, Weekend would rather stay home and play video games. So, when Zay drops Weekend’s name and gets him signed up for a Lego Math & Writing Camp, Weekend is furious! Next thing he knows, he's going to school on a Saturday, helping kids build with Legos and avoiding Zay at all costs. But as the day goes on, Weekend learns that camp isn't so bad after all, especially when you're with your best friend.
