Calvin Coconut, Trouble Magnet by Graham Salisbury

"Maybe you know the feeling of how junk it is when summer ends.  The good times are over.  You start thinking about school, homework.  Getting up early again.
And there's nothing you can do about it."

So starts Graham Salisbury's series starter Calvin Coconut, Trouble Magnet.  Calvin and his friends are starting 4th grade in their home state of Hawaii.  Calvin has a list of troubles that seem to be attracted to him: a school bully, a pesky little sister and an unfriendly, teenage daughter of his mom's friend to whom he has to give up his bedroom for.  Even with all those troubles, Calvin still makes a point of befriending the new kid in class.
