Mo's Mischief
children's book series by Yang Hongying
Mo's Mischief, known in Chinese as Mischief Maker 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 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.

Why this record matters
“Mo's Mischief” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mo's, Mischief and children's provides the most credible route into that argument.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6886104. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
