Thirteen-year-old Matt Greene is tired of being looked down upon by everyone in his eighth grade class. His best friend Keith, a star basketball player, drives Matt into jealous fits. A girl named Josie enters Matt's life, and she comes to be a voice of wisdom, a sympathetic friend, and the best possible magic for Matt's angst.
