Books like Don't get caught by Kurt Dinan
Max Cobb is tired of being the same unremarkable student whose transcript reads a 2.5 GPA and a strong love for heist films. When an anonymous invitation lands in his locker to join the covert Chaos Club—a group famed for epic pranks—Max eagerly accepts. He soon learns the invitation is a set‑up: he and four other misfit recipients are caught by school security for vandalizing the water tower. With a resolve to black‑mail the club that turned him into a target, Max rallies his new allies to confront the Chaos Club and unveil its secrets. Their tiff becomes a full‑blown prank war that puts the school's reputation on the line.
