David is a "Middle." He’s the middle child, he has middle-of-the-road grades, and he has a perfectly average life. His biggest goal? Surviving the 6th-grade Science Showcase without passing out from stage fright.

Then came the clink in the kitchen.

At 11:30 PM, David discovers he’s not alone. Inside a gallon jar of King Size Dills is Dillan—a talking pickle with a serious attitude, a love for garlic powder, and a genius-level understanding of geometry.

What starts as a secret midnight snack run turns into an all-out adventure. From high-speed RC car races and skate park stunts to battling a "sticky" villainous sweet pickle named Sir Sugar-Skins, David’s life is about to get a lot less bland.

But as the Science Showcase looms, David realizes Dillan didn't just show up to cause chaos. He’s there to teach David the ultimate secret: In a world that wants you to be mushy, you have to find your crunch.

Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and The Bad Guys, this illustrated middle-grade novel is packed with:

• Fast-paced humor and "pocket fart" jokes.

• Interactive "Artifacts" including secret maps, character stat cards, and sibling reviews.

• Heartfelt themes of finding self-confidence and the bittersweet nature of saying goodbye.
