Why would a kid get in trouble on purpose? And not even be afraid to go to the principal's office?
Clay is not your typical 6th grader (or maybe he is?). He is proud of his daring deeds of trouble around school and thinks his older brother will get a kick out of his nasty behavior too. But Mitch has been in jail and he has other ideas for his little brother. Can a trouble maker change his ways?
I have read a lot of Andrew Clements books. This is not as good as those others. Personally I think it is a bit too preachy and too predictable. It still was an enjoyable story but I'd say, pick out one of his other books to read before this one.
