To keep their identities secure and the club believable, Ben and his friends decide to enter a batch of homemade pickles in the Pioneer Fair. Principal Lebonsky and the other adults, who Ben says have lost their senses of humor, are baffled by the anonymous pranksters and are less than amused. The club keeps the school guessing, with each prank bigger than the last. The fake club is believable enough - it even has an official website - but instead of meeting to discuss the gross things you can soak in vinegar, the group plans its next prank. To keep their activities a secret, the boys, joined by two girls, Bean and Sienna, decide to hide in plain sight by creating a club dedicated to making and appreciating pickles. Over a plate of guacamole at Ben’s parents’ restaurant, Ben and his new friends, Frank and Oliver, decide to team up to plan a series of mischievous acts designed to get a laugh out of their classmates. When Ben Diaz stumbles upon an ad for free ball-pit balls, he thinks it would be funny to fill his homeroom with them.Īfter that stunt is a success, Ben, only a sixth-grader, decides that Fountain Point Middle School needs to rediscover its sense of humor - and he knows just how to do it.
