Down with the dance: "Meet Austin Davenport, whose fabulous luck landed him on this earth only eleven months after his brother, Derek, putting them in the same grade. Unfortunately, the brainy Austin did not get his brother's athletic gifts or the family butt-chin, meaning their parents love Derek more than Austin, or so it seems. Join Austin on his journey through the tumultuous waters of middle school while trying to save the Halloween Dance so he can take a girl way out of his league, but who doesn't seem to know it. Can he stay one step ahead of the new principal who has it out for him? Will Austin figure out who the perpetrators are? Will he save the dance in time? Will he wear a diaper on a stakeout?"--Back cover

Santukkah!: "Austin Davenport is back! With new characters and a new villain; the only guarantee is more mayhem! After his brother wins a big sports award, Austin is jealous and wants his time to shine in the spotlight. With the school holiday musical just around the corner, Austin wonders if he's good enough for the lead role but also scared he might fart during a solo. Amplifying the problem is a new kid in town: the golden-voiced, dark-hearted Randy Warblemacher, who will stop at nothing to destroy Austin's chances at fame and fortune, while attempting to steal his girlfriend in the process."--Back cover

The science (un)fair: "The stakes have never been higher for Austin, whose principal is salivating at the chance to get him expelled. To make matters worse, Randy Warblemacher, notorious cheater and Austin's chief nemesis, offers Austin a wager on the outcome of the science fair and it's an offer too good to refuse, but after a communication mix-up, the lovable underdog finds himself going head to head with his own girlfriend. Will the competition be too much for their relationship? Will Austin's design for a fart-suppression device save the environment and the institution of marriage by reducing toxic fume emissions by 40%? Or will his human catapult design transform long-distance travel, rendering the airline industry obsolete?"--Back cover

Battle of the bands: "Austin's world is forever changed when he learns that nerds have one chance to transform themselves into cool kids. And that's by starting a band. Complicating matters is Randy Warblemacher, already a popular kid (and Austin's nemesis), who starts his own band that overshadows Austin's. And then the battle is on! Join Austin and the gang as they search for and express their badditude. Will the nerds rise to superstardom? Will Austin split his leather pants and forever scar the youth of America?"--Back cover
