"Beechwood is in trouble, but Rube may just have another machine up his sleeve …
Evil Professor Zeero has disappeared, Superintendent Atwater has been put in his place, and all is right again in Beechwood … or is it? When Rube Goldberg discovers the Null Corporation is building a giant machine in his beloved junkyard, he suspects something nefarious is at play. Then anonymous messages appear from someone claiming to be an ally, and he knows something is up.
With his best friends Boob and Pearl—as well as Reina, Lala, and Davin—Rube sets out to discover just what the company has in store for the people of Beechwood.
Disguises, master plans, and (of course) Rube Goldberg Machines are all part of the plan. Can Rube find the answers he needs in time to save Beechwood?"
"Rube and his machines may have saved the day last week, but middle school is just getting started!
One of Rube’s best friends, Pearl, is running for class president, and Rube knows just the gadget to help her win … or so he thinks. No matter what he does, all of his attempts to help Pearl end up backfiring. To make things worse, popular girl Emilia invites Rube to go
with her to the big Switcheroo Dance—that is, if he invents something special to help her impress her followers online.
Meanwhile, shops around town are being forced to close as a mysterious corporation buys up their land. Even the Rosens, who own Rube’s favorite antique store, may get bullied into shutting down. Can Rube and his machines uncover the truth in time to stop it?"

But things just can’t seem to go right for Rube: He gets banned from Con Con, his friendships are strained, and weird, ghostly incidents begin to throw the town into total chaos. But Rube has a big solution to every little problem, and he’s ready to
