Nine-year old Sebastian lives with his wealthy parents in an affluent area of the city and attends a private school.

But when the government abolishes private education, Sebastian is forced to go to a new and very different school where he just can't seem to fit in. His teacher and classmates have some peculiar ideas and are hell-bent on brainwashing his old values away and making him think like they do. He's determined not to give in, but it seems everyone around him has been indoctrinated - there's nowhere to turn. He can't just stand by and watch as the world changes around him, but the stakes are high - can one brave boy make a difference?

Smart, scrappy, and unfazed by punishment, Clay is from a home rife with turmoil. But when Clay’s delinquent older brother Mitchell begins to wise up and pull his life together, he wants Clay to change too. And so Clay tries. But changing a reputation isn’t as easy as changing your socks, and Clay finds that altering the attitudes of his teachers and peers and taking responsibility for his actions is a monumental challenge?. Andrew Clements’s latest novel, about mentors, role models, and choosing friends, examines the fine line between good-humored mischief and dangerous behavior?and how everyday choices can close or open doors.

Once a troublemaker, always a troublemaker?There’s a folder in Principal Kelling’s office that’s as thick as a phonebook and it’s growing daily. It’s filled with the incident reports of every time Clayton Hensley broke the rules. There’s the minor stuff like running in the hallways and not being where he was suppose to be when he was supposed to be there. But then there are also reports that show Clay’s own brand of troublemaking, like the most recent addition: the art teacher has said that the class should spend the period drawing anything they want and Clay decides to be extra “creative” and draw a spot-on portrait of Principal Kellings…as a donkey. It’s a pretty funny joke, but really, Clay is coming to realize that the biggest joke of all may be on him. When his big brother, Mitchell, gets in some serious trouble, Clay decides to change his own mischief making ways…but he can’t seem to shake his reputation as a troublemaker. From the master of the school story comes a book about the fine line between good-humored mischief and dangerous behavior and how everyday choices can close or open doors.
