Nothing really mentioned, so we can assume fall of their 3rd 6th grade/8th grade year. Also they are playing volleyball in gym, so probably fall still?
Plot
Mallory hates gym. I think that's obvious from a previous book when she hurt herself on purpose to avoid participating in some Olympic themed day at school. But now it's time to play volleyball in gym, and volleyball is just THE WORST and anyone who likes to play is STUPID and TERRIBLE. Mallory completely sucks at it. The teacher yells at her for not trying (which she isn't), the kids on her team make fun of her and the kids on the other team see she is the weak spot and drills the ball at her every time. Mallory gets pissed and quits, even though it means she has detention. Then she gets the brilliant idea to bench herself every time, so she just keeps getting detention. She intercepts the mail before her parents can see the notices from the school.
So not only does Mallory hate gym, but she hates boys. She gets this theory that bc boys in Stoneybrook have to take gym, they all turn into monsters. Her theory makes no sense, but it's basically bc she wants to have a reason to hate all boys except the Hobart's and Logan. So she decides every boy raised in Stoneybrook sucks because they grow up taking gym class. It literally makes no sense. And she's a psycho hose beast about it.
She comes up with this brilliant plan to have the younger Hobart boys spend the night at her house, and the 4 Pike boys go to the Hobart's. She wants to prove to Ben that her brothers suck and his brothers are amazing. It completely backfires bc the Hobart boys are terrorist assholes and the Pike boys are angels.
Her mom finally sees the detention notices and calls Mallory out, who cries. Then Mallory talks to her teacher who says she will talk to the boys and ask them to stop being assholes. Volleyball ends and the archery unit begins, which of course Mallory is all negative about. But then she ends up being good at it and makes the school archery team.

Takeaways
Um. Stoneybrook Middle School has an archery team?!
Mallory is seriously the most negative person. Why does she hate moving and exercise so much? She is going to be an overweight adult.
I love that the Pike's were perfect gentlemen at the Hobart's house. It just proves that the Pike's house is a fucking free for all and they need to reign it in. Maybe if there were some rules, the kids wouldn't act like maniacs all the time.
Seriously, I cannot get over what a fucking negative nelly Mallory is. Like I do not understand why the BSC members are friends with her. Jessi even says to her "for such a sensible person you are very illogical at times."

Best character
Ben. He waits for Mallory so he can walk her home after detention. He is nice to her even though she's seriously terrible during this whole book.

Worst character
Obviously the title character, Mallory, is the fucking worst in this book.
