Life as a sixth-grade dork:
comedy or tragedy?
Now that Jerry
Flack is sixth-grade class president, he can't wait to come up with

But before he knows what has

who will do anything to make him look like a dork. And when Jerry
decides to help a new friend rise from the all-too-familiar depths of
dorkdom, the social scene at school gets more complicated than ever.
Can Jerry get out of a jam without turning himself into the biggest
dork in town?
