This middle school "caper" book is fun and just a bit over-the-top, as Vince and Mac experience their first barely-recognizable crush on the same girl, channel the dubious talents of an organized bully squad, work with a sixth grade surveillance expert, and take on not only the cafeteria staff, but also the highest school administrators. They have a lucrative business, which they run to earn money for tickets to the first Chicago Cubs playoff game in over seventy years, whenever that

Still worried? Check out my review of the first book instead!
Mac had me at hello
Mac's "voice" is a combination of The Godfather, film noir, and contemporary middle school boy that blends perfectly. Mac is such a likable kid. He makes me laugh and even when he's doing less-than-moral things, I'm still rooting for him to win (plus, his heart is More...

Chris Rylander certainly has a knack for middle school dialogue. I found myself laughing out loud several times. In this second book of the series, Mac and Vince get wrapped up in a series of strange events ranging from ridiculously unhealthy school lunches to rodent poop appearing in school lockers to a high stakes testing cheating scandal. I loved this book as I imagine many 4th through 7th graders would as well.

Great follow up book! Things are getting crazier at Mac and Vince's school. New characters pop up and new mysteries unfold. Laugh out loud humor that connects with middle grade readers and transports yourself right back into jr high. It was fun having to stay on your toes trying to figure out what was coming next. Great clean (well, potty actually) fun:)

I really enjoyed this second book, even more than the first, and I’m pleased to see that the ending of Part II hints pretty strongly at yet another sequel. The setting of this book is an appealing world to visit, and Mac, even at his worst, is the kind of character for whom you just want to see things work out, even when he doesn’t always do the right thing. Kudos to Chris Rylander for continuing to work with his unique tween mafia concept - this series is definitely one-of-a-kind!

Classic Chris Ryalnder -- very funny book with a twisted plot and an end you won't see coming.

I think I liked this one more than the first. It didn't seem as dark. Not sure what I thought of the epilogue. Looking forward to hearing what friends thought.
