Alexander’s two brothers have money in their pockets. All he has are bus tokens. It isn’t fair. He had money last Sunday when his grandparents gave them each a dollar. Now it’s all gone. At first he was saving the money for a walkie-talkie. But saving money is hard. He bought gum with some of the money, and when it stopped tasting good, he had to buy more. Good-bye 15 cents. Then Eddie offered to rent him his snake for an hour, and he couldn’t pass up a chance like that....

Für die Schule lernen? Ist nicht so Jonas' Sache. Dafür läuft es mit den eigenen Geistesblitzen umso runder. Gemeinsam mit Opa Jansen und seiner Freundin Rina entwickelt der fantasievolle Tüftler ungewöhnliche Erfindungen, die den Tag retten... oder auch mal mit einem unfreiwilligen Sprung in den Gartenteich enden.

Eigentlich ist Jonas glücklich. Er besucht die geheime Erfinderschule, hat einen eigenen Hund und den besten Opa der Welt. Aber an der seiner Schule geschehen merkwürdige Dinge: Türen öffnen sich nicht mehr, die Tiere aus dem Beobachtungslabor drehen frei, und ein Professor hat plötzlich eine Punkfrisur. Jonas, Rina und Co. haben sofort Gerrit Kern in Verdacht, der ihnen seit dem letzten Abenteuer in der Erfinderschule das Leben schwer macht. Mit Erfindungen wie Um-die-Ecke-Gucker wollen die Freunde den Täter überführen. Und damit fängt das Abenteuer gerade erst an.

When Alexander wakes up with gum in his hair, he thinks that maybe it’s going to be a bad day. When he trips on the skateboard by his bed and drops his sweater in the sink, he knows it’s going to be even worse than he thought. His brothers find fabulous prizes in their cereal boxes; he finds cereal. His best friends get fancy desserts in their lunch boxes; Mom forgets dessert. From being scrunched in the car on the way to school all the way to lima beans for supper and kissing on TV (yuck!), the day just keeps getting worse. It’s enough to make him want to move to Australia.

Alexander’s dad has a new job 1,000 miles away, so now his family has to move. Alexander would rather have poison ivy. Maybe he could live with the Baldwins and their dog. He’s always wanted a dog. How can he leave Rachel, his favorite baby-sitter, who taught him to stand on his head and whistle with two fingers (but not at the same time)? And his best friend Paul, who’s like a brother, except that he doesn’t call Alexander "puke-face" like his real brother does? Just as Alexander is ready to hide from his parents, Dad decides that a boy might need a dog....
