The Scrambled States of America is a series of two books written by children's book author Laurie Keller ("Who is she?" "Never heard of her.") centered around the antics of the United States of America as narrated by Uncle Sam...and by states, we mean the actual states themselves and not the people who live in them.The first book in the series is The Scrambled States of America, written in 1998. Tired of living in the center of the country surrounded by the other noisy states and never getting to meet anyone else or go anywhere else, Kansas arranges a meet-and-greet party for the fifty states with help from his good friends Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa. The states hit off pretty well, but as the party winds down, Virginia and Idaho present an idea they were just talking about: What if all the states switched places with each other so they could see what it's like being in other parts of the country? The states all agree to try it out. What Could Possibly Go Wrong??Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first book would be followed by a sequel in 2008: The Scrambled States Of America Talent Show. In this book, New York wakes up one morning with the idea to hold a talent show for all the states so they can showcase their various talents and what they're famous for. The states jump at the chance to hold a talent show, and Hilarity Ensues.Both books are lauded for being useful in introducing young kids to USA geography, and proved to be popular enough to get a card game based on the first book made by Gamewright, and a fairly obscure educational video based on the second book. | |

Ambiguous Gender: The states themselves. Only a few states seem to have explicit genders; many other states can have eyelashes in one illustration only to appear to be male in another one. | |

And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt: At the end of the book following the states resuming their normal places, New York (who took up California's spot alongside Alabama and Indiana) is shown giving Michigan a T-shirt that reads: "My friend switched places with California and all I got was this stupid T-shirt!" | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: The whole plot is kick-started by Kansas's desire to not be stuck in the center of the country surrounded by his fellow states, and he switches with Hawaii when the states trade places so he can finally have some peace and quiet. Needless to say, he goes nearly mad from the loneliness. | |
