Death by whoopee cushion

Grant, Vicki,


Most kids would love it if their parents owned a joke store. But twelve-year-old Manya isn't like most kids. She's not interested in the cheap laughs at Pranks a Million. The only thing she finds even vaguely interesting about her parents' shop is the science behind the pranks. Manya and her best friend Isaac are thrilled when their parents agree to sign them up for Serious Science, an after-school course. It's everything Manya has dreamed of. But one day Manya comes back from their Serious Science class to see two police in the store. A trick cigar bought at Pranks a Million blew up in a customer's face and burnt off his eyebrows. Then there's a poisoning incident. And when a whoopee cushion explodes, actually killing an innocent bystander, Manya's parents are arrested for murder. It's up to Manya to prove their innocence -- and she may have to use some of the science behind the pranks to do so.
