The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach by Hillary Feerick and Jeff Hillenbrand

Mitch Spinach seems to be an ordinary kid, but his classmates have begun to suspect something.

Although he is the smartest, nicest, strongest kid in Ms. Radicchio’s class, he often misses recess when he is called to Principal Lycopene’s office.
