Oliver Zahn, spitball champion and self-declared rule-wrecker of Brightling Middle School, is not a fan of his new homeroom teacher, Mr. Aidact. The guy is sort of stiff, never cracks a smile, and refers to them as "pupils." The worst part is he catches Oliver before he can pull any of his signature pranks! It's time for Oliver and his best friend, Nathan, to show the new teacher who's boss. But as the weeks go by, they start to realize that Mr. Aidact is not what they expected. He has an uncanny ability to remember song lyrics or trivia. When the girls' field hockey team needs a new coach, he suddenly turns out to be an expert. He never complains when other teachers unload work on him--even when it's lunchroom duty and overseeing detention. Against all odds, Mr. Aidact starts to become the most popular teacher at Brightling. Still, Oliver and Nathan know that something is fishy. They're determined to get to the bottom of the mystery: What's the deal with Mr. Aidact?

But the superintendent has his own plans to torpedo that idea—and it involves assigning Mr. Kermit to the Unteachables.

So when the troublemaker pulls a major prank at his middle school, he thinks he's finally gone too far. But thanks to a mix-up by one of the administrators, instead of getting in trouble, Donovan is sent to the Academy of Scholastic Distinction (ASD), a special program for gifted and talented students. It wasn't exactly what Donovan had intended, but there couldn't be a more perfect hideout for someone like him. That is, if he can manage to fool people whose IQs are above genius level. And that becomes harder and harder as the students and teachers of ASD grow to realize that Donovan may not be good at math or science (or just about anything). But after an ongoing experiment with a live human (sister), an unforgettably dramatic middle-school dance, and the most astonishing come-from-behind robot victory ever, Donovan shows that his gifts might be exactly what the ASD students never knew they needed.

      Vince Luca a choisi de quitter New-York pour la Californie, où il doit intégrer une fac de cinéma. Il lui fallait surtout prendre un maximum de distance avec l'envahissant business de son père. L'année se présente sous les meilleurs auspices, dans une chambre d'étudiant avec vue panoramique sur la baie de Los Angeles, un co-locataire sympa, fils d'un sénateur très en vue, une carrière de cinéaste en perspective et Kendra, sa petite amie, qui l'a suivi. Une vie honnête et respectable semble enfin accessible. Mais, totalement accaparée par le tournage d'une comédie musicale, Kendra n'est en fait pas très présente. Difficile alors pour Vince de résister aux avances insistantes de Willow, une créature de rêve.Et bientôt débarquent dans l'ordre : Tommy, le frère de Vince, qui prétend vouloir se ranger des voitures, au moins pour quelque temps, les « oncles » du clan Luca en soi-disant virée touristique et enfin Anthony Luca en personne, le père. Bref, le parrain et tout le gratin de la Mafia new-yorkaise. Ellis Rank, le président du syndicat des ouvriers du bâtiment vient de se faire enlever, à la veille d'une nouvelle élection. Vince est persuadé que son père est en train de monter un nouveau coup. Le revirement de situation sera total et le lecteur découvrira, avec Vince, que le kidnappeur n'est pas celui qu'on pense !
