Press Kit -- Click images for high-resolution graphics

Corey Green writes funny middle-grade books (grades 4-6, ages 9-12) that are filled with mischief and laughter. Buckley School Books are a collection of books about the sixth graders in Mr. Hoker's class. Trouble seems to find them, especially when they’re trying to be good.

Zapped! - Inventing Stan was easy... Kyle, the new kid in school, invents an imaginary student to take the blame for a prank that goes wrong. When Stan takes on a life of his own, the kids get into more trouble than they ever imagined. Making Stan behave is impossible!
Brainstorm - No matter how hard Brian tries, he just doesn't understand other people the same way he understands science. Brian gets brainstorms, great ideas for cool things. Sometimes Brian is too smart for his own good--and his brainstorms backfire. Spectacularly!
Double Switched - Connor’s dad says make straight A’s or no baseball--but that’s not so easy when Connor has been Double Switched. Switched ballparks, switched classes, switched baseball positions...the bases are loaded with problems for Connor. Can he live up to his dad’s high standards? Would his hero Jackie Robinson approve of Connor's choices?

Characters in Buckley School Books are just like the kids in your class, except that you know what they are thinking when the stink bomb goes off in the middle of history class.

These stories captivate readers because they are realistic: “In addition to being an author, I am a teacher, so I am always around children who are the same age as my characters. I love it when I meet a student in my class who is just like one of my characters.” Corey smiles, but doesn’t answer, when asked if she helps her students create havoc.

Corey Green says the world would be boring without brainstorms and backfires, pranks and hi-jinks, stunts and shenanigans, larks and ... hey, this is beginning to sound like a lesson on writing and word choice!
