The Fourth Stall Part II

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Q: How do I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

Publisher Description

The life of crime is good.Mac has taken down legendary high school crime boss Staples, business has been booming, and Mac and Vince are getting ready for middle school baseball tryouts. But this can’t last. Mac has always tried to keep his friends close and his enemies closer. But what happens when you can’t tell the difference?

This dilemma walks into the fourth stall in the form of Trixie Von Parkway—an eighth grader with a mean look and an even meaner predicament. The new science teacher is terrorizing her, and she needs Mac to get him off her back. Seems simple enough, but as Mac starts to dig deeper, he finds even more trouble brewing at his school, including a new administrator bent on destroying his business, and indications that Trixie isn’t who she claims to be. In the past, the worst thing that could have happened to Mac was that he might lose a little money, maybe catch a beating. In The Fourth Stall Part II, though, there’s going to be much more on the line than that.

“Oh Mac, what have you done. My 6th grade crush gets into some deep trouble when he starts looking into fried fatty foods in the cafeteria and rat droppings in the lockers. And then she walks in the door. Trixie von Parkway. He knew she was trouble the minute she walked in and she sets in motion a whole world of events that leaves Mac and Vince reeling at the end. I'll start from the beginning. Mac and Vince have their business back and it's busier than ever. Things are running smoothly until weird things start happening at school. First, Trixie shows up saying the new Science teacher is giving her a hard time because she broke up with his son. She wants Mac and company to get him off her back. Mac describes her as a rattlesnake throughout the book so you know he doesn't believe her, but she does prove valuable. Then the healthnut boy, Jonah complains because the cafeteria is serving nothing but fried foods. Or double fried in the case of fried chicken with sides of fried chicken skin and double-fried French fries. "Do you know how many calories are in that stuff? I mean, it's like a ton of calories! Or how much saturated fat? how much LDL cholesterol?"....I tried not to laugh because my mom and her friends were always going on and on about those evil calories and it just sounded so strange coming from a seventh grader....."Okay Jonah," I said,"we'll help you, but you've got to calm down." The truth was, I wasn't too sure I wanted to solve this problem. (pgs18-19) of the ARC That's my Mac, always thinking of others!! He knows the other kids love that food. But then more problems. The germaphobe comes in with the problem of feces from some animal in his locker. Even Mac and Vince won't touch that. They have to call in the specialist for that. And then there's the problem with the Science teacher who is also the new baseball coach. Mac and Vince both want to try out as 6th graders and know they don't have a good chance, but still. Once they find out Mr. /Coach Kjelson is a Cubs fan, they just know he can't be a bad guy. All evidence points to him being a great guy. And he's a CUBS FAN! Mac and Vince are really in a bind. But nothing like the ones they get into later in the book. And it looks like the business may just be gone for good. I still say if I was in 6th grade I'd have an even bigger crush on Mac than in the last book. He'd be a hero. He has no idea what girls are all about but I'm hoping to read about him in the future. I can't wait until he gets mixed up with girlfriends. That will really be interesting. She'll have to be a Cubs fan that's for sure. The Fourth Stall II was even better than the first but very different from it. I loved both and hope there will be another book or books in the series. I am very fond of Mac, Vince, Joe and Fred. And I love Kitten! You really have to read these books to learn about Kitten the meanest bully you'll ever read about. I will not tell you why they call him Kitten. Nope. Read it! I wouldn't call this a boy book, but it is written from Mac's point of view. I love reading from the boy's point of view. It helps me understand them, a little, maybe. All I can say for this one is that I was smiling when I started, laughed through several parts, and was smiling at the end. I was remembering my time in 6th grade trying to picture who my Mac would have been. No contenders. Mac remains fictional and holds my 6th grade heart. I received a copy of an ARC from the publisher Walden Pond Press for an honest review. This in no way influenced my review. Thank you Kellie! Try this series- I know you'll enjoy reading about these future swoon worthy boys!”
