Middle School Mayhem

(4) 4-6 Misadventures of Max Crumbly series. With Nikki Russell. Immediately following his first journal-style book (Locker Hero), middle-school geek Max recounts his attempts to stop a trio of dopey burglars from stealing the school's computers. Meanwhile, Max's crush, Erin, remotely hacks the building's security system to provide assistance. Despite the book's repetitive, over-the-top Home Alone–type clashes with the robbers, tween readers will enjoy this wacky school adventure, decorated with manga-style drawings.
