Wanted to let you know my new book, Troublemakers, is now available on Kindle and in paperback. It's a fun trip through sixth grade with three kids desperate to get rich quick and avoid doing homework by any means necessary, and was a #1 New Release on Amazon in its first week. Fans of "Calvin and Hobbes" or Louis Sachar will be able to appreciate this one, regardless of age - if you're looking for a few laughs, please consider checking it out! Synopsis below, and you can read more about it on my website greggmaxwellparker.com. Thanks!

"We hate school, but trust me, it doesn’t like us either"
- Carlos in "Troublemakers"
There's the athletes, the straight-A students, the computer club... and then there's these kids. Meet Carlos, Tina, and Byron, three sixth graders who have two objectives in life: to avoid homework at all costs and to make lots of money so they can buy a sweet car and learn to drive it. Their knack for get-rich-quick schemes and clever methods of cheating are only surpassed by their failure to notice how badly most of their plans blow up in their faces.
Gregg Maxwell Parker’s first title suitable for middle grade and young adult readers will take you on a side-splitting, rude, and somehow encouraging ride through the perils of middle school with three kids who absolutely refuse to be told what to do. Whether dreaming up ways to scam classmates out of their allowances, going to incredible lengths to jump on a trampoline, trying to con their way into the smart-kid class, or navigating the ins and outs of snack-based time travel, they've always got something up their sleeves, even if it usually ends up getting them detention.
This book is for anyone who knows what the inside of the principal's office looks like, who looks at the happy families on TV like your dog looks at your smartphone, and who can't fathom why any sane person would ever want to become a teacher. Get ready: this one will be a blast for troublemakers of all ages.
