History’s mischief makers are the people who pulled off some of the greatest hoaxes and practical jokes of all time. Their achievements include the Boston Tea Party, the “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast of 1938, and the Cheese Whiz Disaster of 2008. In honor of them, we introduce The Pocket Guide to Mischief, the perfect addition to any prankster’s collection as well as a fun-filled how-to for the budding troublemaker in all of us.

bart King is the author of The Big Book of Boy Stuff and The Big Book of Girl Stuff. A longtime middle school teacher, Bart lives in Portland, Oregon, where he invents new sock designs and plays in a kazoo jazz quartet.

chiLDren’s experiMentsJames Doyle • Illustrated by Andrew Brozyna

Would you like to become expert at spotting a zombie? Can you separate zombie fact from zombie

fiction? Would you like to know if you suffer from kinemortophobia? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you have taken your first steps into the heart-pounding, nerve-jangling and adrenaline-filled life of a zombie catcher! When the Zombie Apocalypse arrives, you must be ready. You need to be able to preserve yourself, your family and the rest of mankind from the threat of the living dead. The Zombie Catcher’s Handbook is filled with essential information that will not only keep you one step ahead of the putrid, undead . . . it might just keep you alive! If you have the nerve (and the stomach) to save the human race, then this is the book for you.

James Doyle lives and works in Belfast, Ireland. He has made it his mission to recruit other zombie catchers, to educate them about a world that requires great courage, great knowledge and great responsibility. He is a certified expert at identifying zombies and looking for the smallest telltale signs such as pale skin, bruising, bites, wounds, and the faint odors of decay and decomposition.

Build your own treehouseDavid and Jeanie Stiles

treehouses and other cool stuFFRemember the handcrafted mischief of the gangs on The Little Rascals, Gilligan’s Island, and The Swiss Family Robinson? This cleverness is back in the old-fashioned fun of Treehouses and Other Cool Stuff You Can Build. Imagine building an old-fashioned go-cart, an A-frame treehouse, a portable lemonade stand, a seesaw, a scooter skateboard, a tub fiddle, and even the ultimate in entertainment—an erupting volcano.

DaviD anD Jeanie stiles have been writing “how-to” books together for the past twelve years. Most recently, the couple built a treehouse on The Today Show in Rockefeller Center in New York. They divide their time between New York City and East Hampton, where they live in a renovated barn.

treehouses & Playhouses you can BuildTreehouses & Playhouses You Can Build shows how average “do-it-yourself” families can easily and affordably bring to life a “Hobbit’s Treehouse,” a “Pirate’s Playhouse,” or a “Crow’s Nest” in their own backyards! There are a lot of books out there filled with enchanting photos of elaborate treehouses and playhouses built by professionals and costing tens of thousands to build. For the rest of us, there’s bit of elbow grease, a lot of imagination, a trip to the hardware store—and Treehouses & Playhouses You Can Build.
