Middle School Mayhem: The Science (Un)Fair Thanks for tuning your station to Nerd Nation! Austin Davenport returns in Middle School Mayhem: Science (Un)Fair, the third installment of a planned twelve-book series. And this time, he's playing for keeps. Whatever that means. But seriously though, the stakes have never been higher for Austin, whose principal is salivating at the chance to get him expelled. A new website that bashes the overbearing principal surfaces and after no investigation whatsoever, Austin is the one and only suspect. To make matters worse, Randy Warblemacher, notorious cheater and Austin's chief nemesis, offers Austin a wager on the outcome of the science fair and it's an offer too good to refuse, but after a communication mix-up, the lovable underdog finds himself going head to head with his own girlfriend. Will the competition be too much for their relationship? Will Austin's design for a fart-suppression device save the environment and the institution of marriage by reducing toxic fume emissions by 40%? Or will his human catapult design transform long-distance travel, rendering the airline industry obsolete? Will Austin be expelled for a crime he didn't commit? Can Austin beat Randy? Will Randy play fair (I know, dumb question.) What will Austin do when the love of his life, Sophie Rodriguez, gets caught up in a cheating scandal? Questions. Questions. Questions. To find the answers, join Austin Davenport as the misadventures and mayhem continue with nonstop laughs! The funny and fast-paced nature of this series is meant for middle grade and early young adult readers. Beware! This series has the tendency to turn reluctant readers into eager ones.

***Use you most mysterious voice while reading*** For centuries, young children have feared the alleged monster beneath their beds. Oh, the havoc those monstrous monsters have wreaked upon so many tired little tots. Well, it's time the tables are turned! Muwahahaha! Sorry, that was a bit much. Or was it not enough? I'll let you be the judge. In book one of the Monstrosity Curiosity duology (I double dog dare you to say that ten times fast- and be sure to check out book two What Do Monsters Eat & Drink?), humor author C.T. Walsh speculates about what young monsters' bedtimes looks like. And what's more- who are said monsters afraid of when the lights go out? You might be surprised. Or not. You might be a total genius and figure it out or perhaps you have monster blood coursing through your veins and when you close your eyes, your monster fears come to life and you know what haunts them. If that's the case, you should probably get that checked out, but if you are still quite unsure, it's time we figure out this Monstrosity Curiosity and put this monster mystery to bed...if you dare. Muwahahaha!
