Nothing but Trouble Audiobook Summary

From the acclaimed author of The Lemonade War comes a new series starring two smart girls determined to liven up their town–one epic prank at a time.

Odawahaka has always been too small for Maggie’s big scientific ideas. Between her stuck-in-a-rut mom, her grumpy grandpop, and the lifetime supply of sludgy soda in the fridge, it’s hard for Maggie to imagine a change.

But when Lena moves in 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 will have mischief-loving readers caught up in the cleverness and determination of two girls who can’t be held down.

A locker filled with tennis balls, ping pong balls falling on the principal's head during an assembly, mini purple explosions on the gym floor, and declarations of a mystery mouse as the culprit of these and many more pranks going on at Odawahaka Middle School, where sixth grade students are the only students. Have the students been forgotten, or is it true the town just doesn't have the money to house them anywhere else than this old building destined to be destroyed next year? One thing is for sure, and that is Maggie is tired of living in this tiny town where everyone knows your comings and goings, and wishes her mom would take them far away. But her mom has become as complacent as the town. When all the craziness starts happening at the school, Maggie and new friend Lena start to believe that big things can happen even in little old Oda M, but there's a new principal at the school, and he's bent on stopping all of the tomfoolery and chaos taking over the school.I enjoyed this book, and think students will enjoy them, too, but there were many times where I felt like the level of the pranks being pulled were much more than 6th grade students could pull off, no matter how bright they were. I was glad the author addressed the question of where the money came from to pull all of these pranks off, but I just feel as though the students should have been a bit older.Still, a good, fun book that I think students will enjoy.

The Book Nothing But Trouble was a comedy written by Jacqueline Davies. This book was a bit hard to review. Mainly because it was hard to find the plot in the story but also because this book was longer than my other books I read. The story goes is that Maggie lives in a small casual town named Odawahaka. The only exception is Maggie herself likes to cause trouble all over town. Then a new girl named Lena moves in who is a bigger prankster then Maggie. After the principal decides to resign from Oda M (the town’s middle school) the two girls think it’s time for them to stop doing what they like doing, pulling pranks. This time the author sorts chapters very well by numbering them, make a little drawing for every chapter, and of course starts one on a new page! Just the way it should be! Speaking of making a little drawing, while there is no pictures each page number has a neat little drawing of a ball bouncing off the floor which is always nice to see in a book. If there is one thing I can criticize, it’s the lack of cinematic like effect. These include italics different fonts etc. “My Fellow Oda Mice I have lived in the walls of this school for many years, ...and after this year Oda M will be no more. (231) When the book is trying to show the reader an important event like this especially with a different character, it can leave the read off track later on but that’s just my opinion. If I had to say something, this was the best book I have read so far, and I hope That Davies can make even greater books.

Nothing But Trouble is nothing but fun. Truly! Admittedly, I often do judge a book but its cover. Noting that author Jacqueline Davies had previously penned the Lemonade War series my snobbish side came out in full force. Passing Lemonade Mouth (aka Puckered Lips?) on the shelves I didn't even give it a second glance. Fortunately, I opted to give Nothing But Trouble a go and was richly rewarded. Charming, relatable main characters, Maggie and Lena, take on middle school through a series of highly sophisticated "hacks" leaving the whole school on its toes. Wholesome but not in a overly saccharine Brady Bunch way. As an added bonus there is quite a bit of science involved in their clever schemes which certainly awakened my interests in a subject I've sometimes written off as dull. Would make a terrific choice for girls not of the fantasy/sci-fi ilk but not yet gearing up for pre-teen romance either. Laws of physics explained in an engaging manner at the back of the book. I just may be puckering up for some Lemonade after all.

3.5- I loved the small-town setting of this book. Coming from a small town myself, I could definitely relate. The hacks and the whole school atmosphere, brilliant! And Maggie's friendship with Lena is a match made in heaven (it was almost a little too perfect). The struggles they face with friendships and families felt real (it made me a little mad Maggie let go of her two original best friends so easily). I understand that you have to suspend reality a bit in a book like this, but something about this book... whether it was the hacks or the perfect friendship or the mostly oblivious adults... something made this book a bit too unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The ending gives the appearance of having everything wrapped up, but I have a feeling there will be a sequel... (view spoiler)[ Lena has to tell us the secret about her parents and Maggie's grandpa's auto parts business still isn't fully resolved (hide spoiler)].

This was a great and easy book to read. It was small (I finished it in one short morning) and had great details and interesting characters. Even the backstory of Maggie, the mail character, was extremely interesting, and could be a story of its own! The author goes out of her way to make sure the characters aren't flat and have lots of both good and bad experiences to level them out. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes both realistic fiction and characters with a sense of adventure and intelligence.

This story was super fun!! The narrator was surprising and brilliant, while staying very likeable. I'm going to read it to 4th grade because I know it's going to be a big hit with the kids. Who doesn't love pranks, intrigue, mischief, and a happy ending?

GIRL HACKERS! with back story!I really was charmed by this book. The girls' friendship issues seem right (I teach middle grades) and the essential problems (to matter, to be seen and heard, to trust in parents) are true.

This is a really good book. It teaches a lot about friendship, creativity and courage. A few hacks helps get school spirits up and help the whole school face the bully Principal Shute. Love it.
