Me and Rolly Maloo by Janet S. Wong

It’s about: Two girls named Patty Parker and Rolly Maloo use a girl named Jenna Lee to cheat on a math test. They pass notes to Jenna but they get caught by their teacher, Ms. Dolores Pie. I liked this book because Patty and Rolly both learn a lesson from cheating on a math test.
