Troublemaker!

That's what Katie's being called now by fellow classmates... and it's not even Katie's fault! If only Katie had never mentioned how she wished there was no TV... she had been mad when she said that, mad that her boyfriend would rather watch a ball game on TV then be with HER. She hadn't expected her mom to jump up and write a newspaper article about what a menace TV was and get Wacko Jr High involved in a TV Turnoff! Now Katie can't get a moment's peace at school, and she and Tony had a huge fight... will things ever get back to normal? This book was an excellent addition to The Fabulous Five series, and I highly suggest it. I think it's my favorite "Katie" book in the whole series! A lot happens in it, and there is a lot of interaction between all the kids at school, not just with the Fab Five.

The Great TV Turnoff ( Fabulous Five, No 24 )

Katie Shannon is tired of everyone watching so much television, and Mrs. Shannon believes Katie has a point. So she writes an article saying that television is a huge menace to society, which makes Wakeman Junior High decide to have a TV turn off. This means students, teachers, and their families will turn off their sets for two whole weeks! Suddenly, everyone seems to be angry at Katie. Can she show them that just because the television turns off it doesn't mean the fun goes with it?
