Nothing but Trouble by Jacqueline Davies (from a Two Thumbs Up reviewer)

Sunday, Nov 13, 2016 at 11:26am

Meet Maggie. She is a girl who, with her new friend, Lena, plans out lots of interesting hacks. Not internet hacks though, prank hacks. They go through lots of challenges together, like fights and a class election. But when the new principal, Mr. Shute, tries to sabotage their election campaign, what will happen? Will the book end good or bad? Read Nothing but Trouble to find out.

This is a really good book.

From the acclaimed author of The Lemonade War comes a new book starring two smart girls determined to liven up their town--one epic prank at a time.

Odawahaka has always been too small for Maggie's big scientific ideas. Between her stuck-in-a-rut mom, her grumpy grandpop, and the lifetime supply of sludgy soda in the fridge, it's hard for Maggie to imagine a change. 

But when Lena moves in with her creative spirit and outrageous perspective, middle school takes off with a bang. Someone starts pulling the kind of pranks that send their rule-loving new principal into an uproar--complete with purple puffs of smoke, parachuting mice, and a scavenger hunt that leads to secret passageways. Suddenly the same-old football games, election for class president, and embarrassing stories feel almost exciting. And for the first time in her life, Maggie begins to wonder if there might be more to Odawahaka than she ever saw coming!

Humorous, smart, and full of small-town heart, Nothing But Trouble will have mischief-loving readers caught up in the cleverness and determination of two girls who can't be held down.
