How I Went from Bad to Verse

How I Went from Bad to Verse

Series: Zack Files (Book #20)
by Dan Greenburg Illustrated by Jack E. Davis

Zack goes on a class trip, gets an insect bite, and suddenly can't speak a single word that isn't in rhyme. Talking like a modern-day Shakespeare may be fun at first, but not when he can't turn it off.  Zack and his father try many things to get Zack back to normal and recover from his "Rhyme Disease."

This title from "The Zack Files" is filled with silly rhymes and the even sillier situations.
