About This Book:
A big prank becomes a big yikes in this second book in the New Norm middle grade series about surviving the cringe and chaos of middle school both online and IRL.
It only takes a stack of sticky notes to start the great prank challenge at Meadowview Middle School. Now everything and everyone is a potential target, and no one wants to be caught off guard in 4K.
Norm’s prank was a flop, but Mia’s idea is genius and Norm is all in. But when their prank brings more chaos than likes, no one is laughing. With upset students and angry faculty working together to hunt down the culprit, Norm and Mia must fix the mess or face the fire

Egg all over his face!
This was a bit over the top at a few points; Jordan gives everyone at school cookies that are really just ground up beans with spicy salt in them. There might have been Homeroom Cookie Swaps in some schools before the pandemic, but with allergies and other concerns, I found it hard to believe that Jordan was only required to write a letter of apology to one teacher for this prank.
Mia’s love of science is intriguing, and I hope to see more of her efforts at using this love of learning for good rather than for evil!
We need more amusing middle grade novels, so hand this to fans of books that explore the humorous side of social media like Lumsden and Pieplow’s Confessions of a Mango, Baden’s Famous Anonymous, or Soto’s frenetic Gone Viral.
