The Bad Apple. Burns, T. R. (Author) May 2012. 352 p. Aladdin, hardcover, $16.99. (9781442440296). Twelve-year-old Seamus has never been in trouble at school, and he certainly never meant to kill his substitute teacher. But after beaning her with an apple in the middle-school cafeteria, he is sent to Kilter Academy. Despite outward appearances, Kilter is not your typical reform school but an institution bent on turning out "Professional Troublemakers." Seamus has a hard time fitting in, but he quickly grasps the system (demerits are good, gold stars are bad) and earns praise from the enigmatic headmistress. Although both plot and characterization strain credibility at times, this is still an entertaining, anything-butpredictable chapter book. The plot twists, turns, and contorts, keeping readers as mystified as Seamus about his ever-changing predicaments and the meaning of it all. Not your typical boarding-school story (where else is the protagonist's roommate a sleepwalking pyromaniac?), this book will amuse many readers, and the surprise ending may create demand for the next volume in the Merits of Mischief series. -- Booklist , May 1, 2012, The Bad Apple T.R. Burns. S&S/Aladdin, $16.99 (352p) ISBN 978-1-4424-4029-6 In this auspicious first entry in the Merits of Mischief series, 12-year-old Seamus Hinkle is sent to the Kilter Academy for Troubled Youth after he accidentally kills his substitute teacher, Miss Parsippany, with an apple. Upon his arrival, however, Seamus discovers that Kilter is actually a school for professional troublemakers: demerits are awarded for bad behavior, gold stars are looked down on, and students use the skills they've learned to trick their teachers. Despite his best efforts (and lingering guilt over the death of Miss Parsippany), Seamus appears to be a natural-born troublemaker. Burns (aka author Tricia Rayburn) has hold of a fantastic premise-what's not to like about a school where pranks and destruction are encouraged and an arsenal of troublemaking devices are available for purchase? It's easy to get drawn into this fast-paced, funny, and entertaining adventure, filled with sympathetic, eccentric, and mischievously talented characters. At its heart, it's a story about the importance of individuality and being a good friend, and a last-minute twist will leave readers hungry for the next book.

Synopsis
"It's easy to get drawn into this fast-paced, funny, and entertaining adventure" ( Publishers Weekly ) about a school where making trouble is highly encouraged. Twelve-year-old Seamus Hinkle is a good kid with a perfect school record--until the day of the unfortunate apple incident. Seamus is immediately shipped off to a detention facility--only to discover that Kilter Academy is actually a school to mold future Troublemakers, where demerits are awarded as a prize for bad behavior and each student is tasked to pull various pranks on their teachers in order to excel. Initially determined to avoid any more mishaps, Seamus nonetheless inadvertently emerges as a uniquely skilled troublemaker. Together with new friends Lemon and Elinor, he rises to the top of his class while beginning to discover that Kilter Academy has some major secrets and surprises in store....

    1st edition, 2nd impression edition of "The Drunken Forest," by Gerald Durrell is as pictured & described. Arrived quickly & safely! Got a great deal on it! Great communication! The book, with a protective mylar cover, was wrapped in bubble wrap, then wrapped in sturdy cardboard, then placed in a rugged bubble mailer! Fort Knox in a mailer! So hard to get an early edition of this classic! So happy to add to my growing collection of nature & science books! Thank you! !!Seller Highly Recommended!!

    Sent message to seller when tracking number for UPS was showing tracking # invalid. Seller responded but didn’t answer my questions specifically. Only that item was sent which wasn’t helpful at the time but I waited. Package arrived in mail - delivered by USPS not UPS. No worries. Besides that… A+ seller. Good price. Good quality.
