"We hate school, but trust me, it doesn’t like us either" - Carlos in "Troublemakers" There's the athletes, the straight-A students, the computer club... and then there's these kids. Meet Carlos, Tina, and Byron, three sixth graders who have two objectives in life: to avoid homework at all costs and to make lots of money so they can buy a sweet car and learn to drive it. Their knack for get-rich-quick schemes and clever methods of cheating are only surpassed by their failure to notice how badly most of their plans blow up in their faces. Gregg Maxwell Parker’s first title suitable for middle grade and young adult readers will take you on a side-splitting, rude, and somehow encouraging ride through the perils of middle school with three kids who absolutely refuse to be told what to do. Whether dreaming up ways to scam classmates out of their allowances, going to incredible lengths to jump on a trampoline, trying to con their way into the smart-kid class, or navigating the ins and outs of snack-based time travel, they've always got something up their sleeves, even if it usually ends up getting them detention. This book is for anyone who knows what the inside of the principal's office looks like, who looks at the happy families on TV like your dog looks at your smartphone, and who can't fathom why any sane person would ever want to become a teacher. Get ready: this one will be a blast for troublemakers of all ages.

A little fairy is a model student at fairy school—until her classmate Sabrina starts to annoy her by bragging that her dress is so much more beautiful than any others. Another tiny fairy suddenly appears by her side, takes her arm, and pours soup down Sabrina's fancy dress. Things spin out of control, and soon the fairy must whisk the mischievous little creature to her room to control the situation. This lighthearted fantasy about perfect little fairies who sometimes give in to wicked impulses provides a gentle reminder that everyone has a temper—and perhaps a little devil inside them that longs to transform someone into a frog or a bat—but a smart fairy must learn to control her antics.
