When twelve-year-old McKenzie McIntyre orders a magical kit from a mysterious website, her dream of middle school greatness quickly turns into a snogbugger of a mess. To McKenzie, the kit is the perfect solution. Probably her only shot at transforming Evan Jacoby, the hunkadoodledoo of Kingsley Junior High, into her Prince Charming . . . But powerful magic comes with consequences—and it isn’t just her crush and her future popularity that’s at risk, but her mom’s trust and her best friend’s respect too.

With a mom who’s more interested in saving the planet than raising her, and an MIA, whale-chasing member of Greenpeace for a dad, McKenzie’s parents don’t seem to get her. Pile on a bad case of writer’s block globbing up her author dreams, and it’s obvious McKenzie needs just this ONE THING in her life to work. But as her expectations for The Prince Charming Starter Kit intensify, the magic spirals out of control. With its promise to “bring out the true heart of any would-be prince,” McKenzie’s determined to prove that Evan is the real deal . . . even if her best friend isn’t so sure about his true character. The kit does come with a caution: Toadies aren’t Princely; Toadies aren’t Charming; Only Princes are Princely; Heed now this warning.

Middle school life is never dull, but McKenzie is about to find out just how un-boring it can get.

“Prepare to be conquered by the world’s funniest supervillain”
– Lincoln Peirce, author of the BIG NATE series

Greetings, goobers! After my latest experiment worked a little too well—transforming my rather fetching figure into something significantly smaller—I’ve been forced to return to those halls of horror better known as . . . school. But going back to junior high may be my greatest opportunity for mayhem in many a month! Try to keep up as I:

   • Dramatically defeat the daily dangers of schooldom—even though everyone is against me.
   • Strive to win the junior high presidential election by alerting my fellow students to the wonderfulness of Vordak the Incomprehensible, as well as the yuck-ness of my opponent, Marlena Lurchburger.
   • Mastermind a catastrophic career day, where that disgusting do-gooder Commander Virtue will finally, fiendishly be foiled.

Fortunately for you, I have recorded every mischievous moment within these carefully crafted covers so that you may bask in my brilliance as I plot to RULE THE SCHOOL . . . and, eventually, THE WORLD! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

Like a lot of 12-year old kids, Ben Boomer finds his family embarrassing. Unlike a lot of kids, Ben’s family consists of professional wrestlers who embarrass him on national television. That’s the premise of “The Adventures of Hairball & ‘Hot Flash’ Granny”.

All his life Ben Boomer has idolized his pro-wrestling parents, Hairball and Psycho Momma. And his greatest hero has always been his wrestling granny, ‘Hot Flash’ Granny. But now that he’s getting older, Ben’s family members don’t seem as cool as they used to. In Ben’s defense, it is rather difficult to climb the middle school social ladder when his granny is whacking his dad with a steel chair on national television.

Ben’s crazy family soon becomes the least of his worries. Terrence Grand, the most popular kid in school, seems to thrive off of picking on Ben and his socially awkward friends. Ben finally has enough and joins the wrestling team so he can beat up Terrence in front of the entire school. Ben regrets his wacky plan, however, when he realizes just how tough wrestling try-outs truly are. In order to face off against his arch-rival, Ben must gain 20 pounds in 4 weeks. Even worse, Terrence’s dad is the wrestling coach… and he does everything he can to make Ben’s life miserable.

Ben’s problems pile up when he’s drawn into a bizarre conspiracy involving his family. Ronald Rump, the evil CEO of Kings Wrestling Federation, has decided to move his juggernaut corporation to Chicago. And he has only one goal in mind: the complete destruction of Hairball and ‘Hot Flash’ Granny’s wrestling company. If Ronald wins the so-called wrestling wars, then Ben’s mom, dad, and granny will be unemployed. Ben also struggles to woo the hottest girl in school, survive Ms. Wolf’s soul-crushing history class, and unite the nerds in a rebellion against Terrence and his army of jocks. Needless to say, poor Ben has a lot of problems, and not a lot of time to solve them.
