A hilarious story of new-school hijinks, filled with friendship, family, and plenty of pranks--perfect for fans of Dork Diaries and Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Meet Airi Sano. After spending her entire childhood moving from one military base to another, she's excited to be settling down for the long-term in Hawai'i. She's less excited about her new teacher, who's determined to make Airi like school. But she's got a plan- prank her teacher so hard that she gives up on even trying to get Airi to do any work-especially any reading. But Mrs. Ashton won't give up, no matter what Airi does. Airi will need the help of her new classmates-who might even be her new friends-to get Mrs. Ashton to crack. It's time . . . for a prank war! With fun and funny black-and-white illustrations throughout, New School Skirmish kicks off a brand-new series for readers to adore!
