Buckle up – The Herdmans are back!

When Miss Kemp assigns the students at Woodrow Wilson Elementary to think of compliments for their classmates and Beth picks Imogene’s name, an unforgettably hilarious school year commences complete with a tattooed baby, a mysterious teachers’ lounge, and a compassionate discovery that might prove there’s something good about this crazy clan after all.
