Calvin Coconut-Trouble Magnet by Graham Salisbury illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers

Calvin lives with his mom and sister on the island of Kailua, Hawaii.  Since his dad left them to be a famous singer, Calvin is the "man of the house"; a title he sometimes despises.
This book takes place over a two day span but a lot of funny and not so funny events occur.  Calvin loses his bedroom so his mom's friend's daughter can live with them; he laughs at a bully and then by accident stains the bully's t-shirt; he lets a centipede lose in class; and begins a food fight (by accident, of course).
Very realistic coupled with humor.
Very likable character.
