Desmond Pucket Makes Monster Magic by Mark Tatulli

Desmond Pucket Makes Monster Magic is a preview copy from NetGalley.

This book is about a kid named Desmond who really likes scaring people.  This year, his scares could get him kicked out of school and not allowed to go on the class trip to Crabshell Pier.  Desmond tries to stop his jokes, but when he sets off one last joke at his sister's slumber party, he's given three chances to prove that he can go on the field trip.  Will Desmond make it on the field trip or forever kicked out of school?

I liked this book because Desmond isn't only interested in just playing jokes, he likes trying to scare people too.  The book shows you how to make some of Desmond's tricks too.  The book is really funny because Desmond is normally playing jokes and now he has to try to be perfect to get to go on the field trip.  I am already reading the next book in the series and I'm halfway through it.
