Poor Logan. He always seems to be getting into trouble. Fifth grade will be different. That is until Grandpa moves in. Grandpa is becoming more and more forgetful and Logan doesn’t want him doing embarrassing things - especially in front of his friends. He doesn’t want his parents to send Grandpa away either. Then there is Emily Scott. She’s had it in for Logan since the first day of school. She is trying to set him up so it looks like he turned Ratfink on his best friend, Malik. And when Emily produces an embarrassing photo of Logan, will he really be a ratfink to preserve his reputation and save Grandpa?
