101 Ways to Bug Your Parents - Lee Wardlaw

Stephen Wyatt (also known as Sneeze) has a reputation for causing disasters at school with his would-be fantastic inventions. Scribbler (the sixth grade teacher, also known as Mr. Powell) banned him from bringing in any more invention. The last one he brought in melted his toupee. But on the last day of school he decides to bring in just one last one. It's called the nice alarm, and it's supposed to wake you up in the morning by tapping you lightly on the shoulder. But instead it wallops Hiccup (Sneeze's best friend) on the nose. This summer he, his family, and Hiccup are supposed to go to the Invention Convention, an annual gathering of inventors from all over the place to show off their inventions. Sneeze plans to bring the nice alarm after he's fixed it. But then thing start to go nightmarishly wrong when his parents sign him up for a writing class instead. For the story he is supposed to write, Sneeze comes up with a list of things to do to bug your parents. The list gets bigger and bigger until something a classmate says gives him an idea....an idea that will let him go to the Convention with, or more importantly, without his parents......
