Alan Lelchuk tells the story of a ragtag group of mischievous teenagers who are determined to get their hands on some of the new, high-tech equipment that has recently been shipped to their small town in upstate New York. The kids are not content to just watch and wait; they decide to take matters into their own hands and start breaking into the warehouses where the equipment is stored. Soon, they are not just breaking into the warehouses, but also wreaking havoc on the town and causing a lot of mischief. The police are unable to stop the teenagers, and the townspeople are not sure what to do about them. In the end, the teenagers are able to get their hands on the equipment, and they are able to have a lot of fun while doing it.; 8vo; 501 pages; Price? ? ?
