Bookroo's summary

Meet Ben, Frank, Oliver, and Bean—four middle schoolers with a knack for mischief. When Ben fills homeroom with ball-pit balls, Frank sees an opportunity: form a pickle-making club to secure PTA funding. Oliver's wild tales and Bean's costume shop connections add to their chaotic charm. Together, they become the League of Picklemakers, a prank-pulling force that turns Fountain Point Middle School upside down. Can they outwit the teachers and keep their antics under wraps, or will their clever schemes lead to unexpected consequences? Dive into a world where creativity and chaos collide.

From the publisher

This is the story of THE LEAGUE OF PICKLEMAKERS Ben: who began it all by sneaking in one night and filling homeroom with ball-pit balls.Frank: who figured out that an official club, say a pickle-making club, could receive funding from the PTA.Oliver: Who once convinced half of the class that his real parents had found him and he was going to live in a submarine. Bean: Who wasn’t exactly invited, but her parents own a costume shop, which comes in handy if you want to dress up like a giant squirrel and try to scare people at the zoo. TOGETHER, they are an unstoppable prank-pulling force, and Fountain Point Middle School will never be the same. Latino Interest.
