"Death By Whoopee Cushion" is a Silver Birch 2026 nominee. This is the story of 12 year old Manya who is serious about her love of science. Manya loves her parents, but wishes they could be less silly. Her parents own a joke shop and are always pulling pranks. Manya is mortified when she learns her parents will be demonstrating some of their products at her school. Unfortunately, something goes terribly wrong with one of the items her parents brought to the school and the custodian dies. Manya knows her parents are goofy, but they are very cautious about what they do and would never hurt anyone. With the help of her best friend, Isaac, Manya sets out to prove her parents' innocence and uncovers some surprising things about them along the way. This is an interesting story that will have the reader putting the clues together to find out what is really going on.
