Fourth grader Scab McNally has a real quandary on his hands. During a fishing expedition with his two best friends and new favorite doggy companion, golden retriever Joe, he's convinced that he glimpsed some kind of swamp creature. All Scab needs to do is get permission to go back out on Beeson's Lake with another fishing rod (and some special handcrafted dinosaur-spying inventions, of course!) and he'll be able to find proof. But before she'll let him back out on the water, Scab's mom insists that he pass the swimming class he's being forced to take with his "smart times ten" twin sister Isabelle. That means Scab has to master swimming in the super deep end of the pool, and Scab is NOT ready for that! So, it's back to his top secret lab to diagram some special schemes and plans for the occasion. Will any of them go awry? Well, it wouldn't be any fun if they didn't, would it?

Scab McNally does not want Missy Malone to be class president. He thinks “Never Missy”—nicknamed for her irritating habit of always answering questions correctly—is really an alien in disguise, and he decides to run against her to prove his case. Scab’s twin sister, Isabelle, doesn’t miss a beat reminding Scab that he should be busy creating a platform of what he’ll do as class president, preparing a speech, and making signs. Instead, Scab focuses on launching wild-enough stunts to win the popular vote… but will Never Missy be the first to beat Scab at his own game?

What’s worse than your little sister being smarter than you? Her being more popular, too. But sibling rivalry might just become sibling camaraderie when cliques get out of control in this fresh and fun M!X novel. Sammi Tremayne’s life isn’t perfect, but she’s got it on an even keel. She isn’t ultra-popular, but she isn’t at the bottom of the middle school social ladder, either. However, when it’s decided that her brilliant little sister, Jorgianna, should skip not one, but two grades and join Sammi in eighth grade, Sammi’s world is turned upside down. For someone who has always felt in the shadow of her little sister, this is Sammi’s ultimate nightmare. To make matters even worse, Jorgianna is taken in by the most popular clique in school almost the minute she arrives—a clique that Sammi has been trying desperately to join. Everything, it seems, is going right for Jorgianna and wrong for Sammi. But there’s more to each sister’s story than the other realizes. And when the popular girls start to show their true colors to Jorgianna, can these siblings finally put aside their differences and show the queen bees who’s boss?
