The Way Life Works by Mahlon B Hoagland
A seventh grade prankster is determined to escape the all-girls academy where he's the only boy--by getting expelled--in this spectacular debut (Kirkus Reviews) MAX novel that's perfect for fans of Jerry Spinelli's Crash and Loser (Booklist). Seventh grader Jeremy Miner has a girl problem. Or, more accurately, a girls problem. 475 of them to be exact. That's how many girls attend his school, St. Edith's Academy. Jeremy is the only boy left after the school's brief experiment in co-education. And he needs to get out. His mother--a teacher at the school--won't let him transfer, so Jeremy takes matters into his own hands: he's going to get expelled. Together with his best friend Claudia, Jeremy unleashes a series of hilarious pranks in hopes that he'll get kicked out with minimal damage to his permanent record. But when his stunts start to backfire, Jeremy has to decide how far he's willing to go and whom he's willing to knock down to get out the door.
