Can you keep a secret?

This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. When a group of kids notice that their neighborhood has some problems that have not been solved because there is too much "red tape" involved, they decide to take matters into their own hands and quietly correct the problems themselves. However, their attempts to fix things turn out to be anything but quiet. Parts of the book are a little on the unbelievable side, but the descriptions of the gang's attempts at some handyman work on a (supposedly) abandoned house and some midnight landscaping (for lack of a better term) are hilarious. It's all fun and games for the kids at first, but then, they discover that their neighborhood contains more serious problems than they originally thought. Their activities are also starting to come to the attention of the wrong people. The solution to these problems could have disasterous consequences for one member of the group.
