Summary

War may be hell, but prank wars are hell-arious.

Seventh-grader Jordan Bryant is desperate for a scoop for his year-end ELA project. When the vice principal gets glitter-bombed in front of the whole class—and the wrong student punished for the prank—Jordan thinks he’s found the perfect story. Instead, he finds himself swept up in the biggest thing to ever hit Murray Middle: the Great Prank War. As the pranks get evermore epic and insane, so do the punishments handed down by the draconian administration. Can Jordan and his wacky friends figure out who’s responsible for causing the school-wide mayhem without getting into trouble themselves? More importantly: Can they stop the madness before the trigger-happy vice principal cancels the dance?

Mutually Assured Detention is a raucous, laugh-out-loud tale of friendship and pandemonium by the author of The Dragon Squisher and Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World

I loved it!

This book is lovely and i’d recommend it to anyone who is interested in mystery and comedy books. Just don’t turn up the music too loud as screaming can get a bit out of hand.
