What happens when a budding scientist and a mischief-loving artist team up to "be original" and "never get caught," all while making their depressed town a brighter place to live Their neighbors will never know what hit 'em!

 

 

Nothing new ever happens in Odawahaka. The boring town is just too tiny for Maggie's big ideas. And between her stuck-in-a-rut mom, grumpy grandpop, and lifetime supply of sludgy soda in the fridge, it's hard for Maggie to imagine a change.  

 

 

But when Lena moves to town 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 combines the wit of Harriet the Spy with the fun-loving mischief of Dennis the Menace in what is sure to become a contemporary classic.
