Mo's Mischief

Mo's Mischief

Mo's Mischief, known in Chinese as Naughty Boy Ma Xiaotiao (淘气包马小跳), is a series of children's books written by Chinese author Yang Hongying, first published in 2003. The books revolve around the main protagonist Mo Shen Ma, a student studying in a normal Primary school in China. The plots mainly feature special events or stories about him and his friends, be it at home, in school, or anywhere else.

Mo is typically considered the troublemaker in class. He is playful, will only do what he likes and is unwilling to study, which gets him into trouble easily with his form teacher and the class monitor. However, Mo is generally a very sociable person; he is honest, trustworthy, helpful and has an avid imagination.
