Ricky Kingston (who is REAL, as a matter of fact) wants a better life. Better brothers, better friends, better looks, better everything. He's nobody, too short, and unimportant. His friend Joey-Joe is (his only friend) fifteen years old and a grade below him. His older brother Corey (known by everyone as Treasure) is perfect in every way. He's got too many brothers and sisters, not enough friends, and his only consonance is his computer, where he spends most of his time.
But Ricky stumbles upon his chance: instant popularity, the pretty new girl, and something that makes him cooler than his older brother. What's the big thing?
Ricky throws a CRAZY party, invites everyone in his grade via Facebook, and plans it with the help of Joey-Joe, Cassidy, a family friend who's gotten in her share of trouble, and even Joe's older sister, Tracy, the party expert.
But when Ricky is as famous as birthday cake, how can he keep his brother and FATHER from knowing about the party, as well as everything that comes with it?
Maybe being popular is harder then it looks...maybe his brother's life isn't perfect...maybe his twin sister Rita was right...secrets are harder to keep then friends.

Chabigail: Escape
Another book about Chabigail...how many are there? (There are about fifty of them) This book includes a lonely new boy named Jason, metal cages, a magic potion, and, worst of all, flying chihuahuas.
Chabigail and Reggie are actually starting to think their trouble is over. After all, Marcy and Andrew have been behind bars and haven't caused any problems for almost a year. But Marcy and Andrew are (somehow) let on probation, which can only mean one thing:
Disaster.
Marcy's cooked up something new: A magic potion that shrinks anyone who drinks it to only one inch tall. She thinks that if they can get their little enemies to be even littler, they can squish them and get life over with. But how would they get them to drink a potion?
Andrew is no help. He has too much homework, too many chores, and too many things to do to help Marcy at all. So Marcy scouts out someone desperate for a friend, even if that friend is going to be his slave driver. Once Marcy finds Jason Marn, she goes on ahead.
A mystery twist, a swirl of adventure, a swish of fun, and a whole milkshake full of laughs. Will Chabigail and Reggie stop their evil nemeses, or will they be shrunk, squished, and tossed out like nobodies business?
