Miles and his
family move to Yawnee Valley. Miles had
been known as the prankster at his previous school and hopes to maintain his
reputation at his new school, the Yawnee Valley Science and Letter
Academy. Upon his arrival, Miles
discovers that there is another prankster already at work. Someone has already managed to move Principal
Barkin’s car to the top of the stairs of the school entrance, where it is
blocking any access into the school.
Miles is very impressed with the prank but is surprised when the principal
begins to suspect that it was him.
As Miles begins to familiarize himself at his new school, the student helper, Niles Sparks, is asked to show him around. As the days and weeks go by, Miles is surprised that there are no signs of who the prankster could possibly be. Even though the principal continues to suspect it’s him, he doesn’t want to take credit for something he didn’t do, so Miles gets to work on creating his own prank.
