Overview

What do you do when boredom becomes your biggest enemy? You fight it-with friendship, chaos, glitter glue, and a plan so wild, so hilarious, and so creatively unhinged, it just might change the entire school. Welcome to the world of Pinebark Hills Middle School, where four seemingly ordinary kids create something extraordinary: a top-secret club dedicated to defeating boredom-one outrageous mission at a time. This is the story of Max, Zoe, Elijah, and Lenny: the brains, the artist, the tech whiz, and the wildcard. Together, they form the B.U.M. Club (Boredom-Ultras-Mission), and their goal is simple-make school unforgettable. But what begins as a few silly pranks quickly transforms into a school-wide revolution of joy, creativity, and meaningful mischief. From surprise stairwell parties and ghost-themed hallway pranks to anonymous compliment hotlines and fortune-telling juice boxes, every chapter is a mission-planned, executed, and debriefed like a comedy-heist meets kindness explosion. This isn't just a collection of stories-it's a full-blown movement of positivity wrapped in ridiculousness. In their year-long quest to outwit monotony, the club faces: Confused teachers Laughing students Glitter-related incidents Unexpected praise from the principal And a growing mystery: Are they actually making a difference? With every mission, the B.U.M. Club grows bolder. But it's not all jokes and confetti. Hidden beneath the humor is a heartwarming narrative about belonging, empathy, self-expression, and what it means to bring a community together. Most school stories follow rules. This one creates them-and then sets them on fire with a marshmallow skewer. Structured like a secret mission journal, each chapter feels like a fresh episode in a growing legacy of mischief and meaning. Children will love the fast pace, bold ideas, and laugh-out-loud dialogue. Parents and teachers will appreciate the book's deeper message: that small acts of creativity, kindness, and courage can have lasting impact. Each ""operation"" begins with a clear objective, supplies list, risk level, and ends with a hilarious debrief on what went right (and very wrong). These clever setups keep kids turning the pages, wondering what madness the club will unleash next. The Secret Anti-Boredom Plan is more than a book-it's an invitation. An invitation to see the ordinary with new eyes. To shake the dust off your imagination. To remember that the antidote to boredom isn't always noise or screens-it's meaning, made with friends. It's a rallying cry for kids everywhere who are tired of ""sit still,"" ""be quiet,"" and ""wait your turn.""
