Secrets of a Lab Rat Series by Trudi Trueit

Scab McNally has set his sights on a new challenge--proving once and for all that his classmate, Missy Malone, is really an alien in disguise. Scab and his friends have nicknamed Missy "Never Missy" because her hand is always first in the air every time the teacher asks a question, and Missy never gets one wrong. Come on, how is that really possible? When Missy decides to run for class president, Scab sees the perfect opportunity to challenge her by running against her.

This is a funny, new series that I definitely would put in the hands of boys in grades 3-5, especially reluctant readers. I think the humor and voice of Scab is perfect!
