Love the pranks! The main character is probably much like mee!

His other book 'The Curious Incident of the Dog' topped the best seller lists for ages while this wonderful book was out of print. I cannot understand it!

I loved this book! It was entertaining and fun. This book was written for a younger audience, but I enjoyed it and I am not a kid.

Hilarious! I had no idea these books even existed until I read the preface to Boom (also by Mark Haddon) where the author mentions several other children's books that he wrote. I went hunting for them, and even though I had to order this one from the UK it was worth it (Amazon Marketplace $3.99 postage from anywhere - gotta love it). Ben, Jenks, and Barney plan to outsmart a new neighbor and get more than the bargained for.
