Joey and Russell are best friends. They share every secret and get into trouble together. If you can't trust your best friend, who can you trust? Joey Banks can make an adventure out of anything and Rusty Cooper has never met anyone quite like him. Who else would have the guts to put a frog in their sister's underwear drawer or put bugs in their sister's drinks? But the secrets are starting to pile up, and start to become more and more deadly. Suddenly a light-hearted prank has disastrous consequences and both boys find themselves piled with mountains of guilt.
I loved the beginning of the story which was very light-hearted and hilarious. The pranks that Joey taught of were clever and innocent. There was a definite and clear beginning to when the pranks started to become more serious. The serious turn that book took was scary and made me want to read the book even more. The story made me cry and laugh and it wasn't even that long. I totally recommend it if you want a quick read.
Both of the main characters were exciting to read about. Joey and Rusty were the most exciting best friends ever. The secondary characters were pretty important. You have the story in order to understand the importance of each character.
