Sixth grader Maggie enjoys "hacking," a form of pranking her late father learned at MIT. When equally nerdy Lena moves to town, Maggie shares this once-private part of her life. Maggie's mother struggles with alcoholism and her grandfather's health is declining, adding depth to the shenanigans. Full of unapologetic girl power, the book also includes appended activities based on the girls' interests in physics and Dadaism.
