4-6Merits of Mischief series.
After unintentionally killing a substitute teacher during a cafeteria food fight, Seamus Hinkle is sent away to premier reform school Kilter Academy. However, it turns out that the school actually teaches troublemaking and rewards students for their misdeeds; despite his desire to behave, Seamus finds that he is a natural. Although quirky and entertaining, the story, first in a series, lacks resolution.
