Banned book

Two elementary school boys causing mischief, playing pranks, and other assorted stuff gets them sent to the principals office more than other kids. I wonder how many parents have read this book? It is hard to get boys to read anything, these books boys find interesting and funny. I thought this book was very entertaining and funny. (

This series was one of my favorites growing up. I saw a guy in underpants on the cover, and I was sold before I even read a word of it. Especially with younger students, an eye-gripping cover is very important (
