Ricky, Buddy, and Marshall were best friends and did everything together. At school, they were in the same class, ate lunch together, played at recess together, and were often sent to the principal’s office together. Marshall was very creative at coming up with mischievous activities in and out of the class room. Of course, Ricky and Buddy always thought his ideas were great, and they readily became partners in crime. Most of the mischief was directed at three different groups at school. 1. Suzy, Julie, and Janey who tried to weasel in on the boy’s activities. 2. Larry, Tom and Scuz who never missed a chance to harass Ricky, Buddy and Marshall and 3. A teacher the boys nicknamed Ruby Lips because of her bright red lipstick. With twenty-eight exciting stories, Ricky, Buddy, and Marshall keep the pranks, mischief, and adventure coming with creativity, imagination, and fun
