Pickle
Sixth-grader Ben Diaz is not a troublemaker. However, he does think harmless pranks enhance the school experience, though. It’s so much fun he starts a club of pranksters (by invitation only). The Prank and Trick Association (P.T.A.) masquerades as the League of Pickle Makers (’cause who would want to study veggie brining after school?). Several pranks later, the school’s abuzz, and the principal is cheesed off. Success! Then, a rogue prank threatens to expose them all. Will they get caught?
