    About this ebook

    In No Girls Allowed (Dogs Okay), now available in paperback, Scab knows exactly what he wants: a dog. But if his “smart times ten” twin sister, Isabelle, keeps tattling on him, he’s never going to get his pet. The sister repellant spray he invents is effective and profitable—until a broken bottle spells mega-stinky disaster.

      Trueit I laughed and laughed at this book. I believe it is geared more for the elementary kids. Since I have reluctant readers, the tips, pictures and large print will appeal to some of them. Scab McNally is gross. This is the first thing that will hook my readers, the name and the fact that the character is gross. He wants a dog and tries to get his twin sister Isabelle to help take his parents into getting them one. She refuses. He decides to earn money to get his own dog and get even with his sister at the same time. He creates a vile smelling concoction he sells to his friend as a “sister-repellent”. This was a quick read and one I know I’ll be able to get the most reluctant student to read.

      This is a great read for middle grade boys and girls, who like fast-paced action and fun. It's not at all that gross. The references to bodily functions tend to be written as factual observations in the main character's inventor's notebook - not for the gross-out factor. Similarly, the dog poop is alluded to but never actually mentioned. More important, the book has a wonderful message about the value of the bond between siblings. Scab has to decide whether his all-out quest to get a dog is worth risking the relationship he has with his sister, Isabelle. Scab is honest, impulsive, and often thoughtless. But he's got a big heart, which makes him a very real and likable protagonist.The funny illustrations only compliment a story that will capture young readers, and especially reluctant readers. I can't wait to read more books in this series!

      Scab McNally (his real first name is top-secret) wants a dog more than anything. A dog, he knows, will love him unconditionally and a dog won't care if he's not super smart like his twin sister Isabelle. Unfortunately, he has no money to buy a dog and his parents want him to prove that he's responsible. When he invents a sister-repellent that he calls "Isabelle Smells", he finds lots of boy who want to buy it. Suddenly his dreams of dog-ownership might come true! But selling Isabelle Smells at school causes many problems he couldn't have foreseen. This is a great boy book - perfect for reluctant readers who enjoy gross-out humor. And yeah, it's very gross. Dog poop, farts, and rotten garbage abound. I'd try it on Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans and any kids who laugh at poop (and isn't that most kids?).

    CHAPTER

    1

    This Chapter Has Nothing to Do with My Pants

    I’m kicking the leg of the chair outside the vice principal’s office. I’m snapping my fingers while kicking the leg of the chair outside the vice principal’s office. I’m sounding like a whistling firecracker while snapping my fingers while—

    Scab McNally!

    I stop. Then I start again. This time I kick lightly so Mrs. Lipwart doesn’t bark at me. That’s not her real name. But who can remember her real name with that pink, knobby thing on her top lip? Whenever Mrs. Lipwart gets mad, the knob changes color. I can make it turn purple.

    BEWARE!

    MRS. BRACKEN FIRES SPIT rockets at you through her front teeth. Three-two-one, blastoff!

    Mr. Corbett’s onion-ring dragon breath will melt off your eyebrows.

    Whatever the cafeteria served for lunch yesterday is still stuck in Mr. Bell’s beard today.

    Ms. Jablinski has only one eyebrow—the left one; see Mr. Corbett.

    Pssst!

    My best friend, Doyle Ferguson, is outside in the hall. I knew he wouldn’t forget me. We’re both in Miss Sweetandsour’s fourth-grade class. That’s not her real name either. It’s just Miss Sweeten. But she can turn sour in a flash if you flick a gooey snotball at Cloey Zittle. Ka-zing!

    Doyle edges closer. How—?

    Wart!

    He drops. When Mrs. Lipwart goes into the copy room, I wave him in. Doyle crawls toward me. He looks like a lizard in his green jacket. How long you in for? he asks.

    Don’t know yet. Are you coming over today if I’m not—? I pretend to choke myself.

    Can’t. We’re taking Oscar for his shots.

    My throat tightens for real. Oscar is his new wiener dog. I’ve wanted a dog my whole life. But every time I ask, and I ask a lot, my parents say the same thing.

    Someday, Squiggle Bear, says my mom, when you’re older.

    Someday, says my dad, when you show you can be responsible for a pet.

    I’ll be ten in two months and nine days. That’s double digits! How much more responsible can I get? By the way, you did not hear my mom call me Squiggle Bear.

    You could come with us to the vet, offers Doyle.

    SCAB’S TIP #19

    WHEN FLICKING A SNOT-ball, twist your wrist for turbo speed and maximum sticking power!

    I nod toward the vice principal’s door. What if I’m—?

    You won’t. You’ll get out of it.

    He’s right. I’ll wriggle my way out of trouble. I always do. Doyle knows me from the bones out. And I know him from the bones out too. We met at summer day camp when we were seven. I got 148 mosquito bites in four days at camp. We counted them. The best part is that 148 red, oozing, swollen bites equals 148 scabs—scabs that you have to scratch and pick at until you peel off every last brown crusty covering. Oh, yeah! After that, Doyle started calling me Scab, and the nickname stuck. That’s another reason why he’s my best friend. If it weren’t for him, people would be calling me by my real name! Sorry, my real name is top secret. You’ll have to get special clearance if you want to know it.

    Doyle Ferguson!

    Bug spit! The lip knob has caught us. Get back to the lunchroom this instant, snaps Mrs. Lipwart, unless you’d like to join Mr. McNally here.

    Doyle spins on his stomach and squirms out of the office. Mrs. Lipwart starts stapling papers. Ka-chunk. Ka-chunk. I go back to softly kicking the leg of the chair outside the vice principal’s office. Mr. Huckabee likes to make you wait. He thinks the longer you wait, the more scared you’ll be when he calls you in. Not me. I don’t scare easily.

    TOP SECRET:

    SCAB’S REAL NAME!

    ARE YOU A TEACHER? ACCESS DENIED.

    Are you a doctor? Access denied.

    Are you an adult? Access denied.

    Are you a kid with a name you hate too? Access allowed.

    My real name is Salvatore Wallingford McNally. Kids were calling me Sally McNally from the second I stepped onto the playground. What were my parents thinking? Spit-swear you’ll never tell anyone my name and destroy this top-secret info immediately! If you could eat it, I’d really appreciate it. Put some chocolate syrup or peanut butter on the page or something. Thanks.

    MY MOST DANGEROUS STUNTS
