The long-running prank battle between the Hatford boys and the Malloy girls reaches a boiling point in this laugh-out-loud finale.

Fast-paced chapters, familiar characters, and plenty of mischief make this a fun read for middle graders. Kids enjoy the humor, the clever one-upmanship, and the way the characters learn to see each other differently.
