Synopsis
Now a seventh grader, Jason finds out the hard way just how different things are where ninth graders are the kings.
When you are entering the 7th grade there are a lot of things you have to think about: parents, friends, pimples, school, your body, girls, 9th graders. This is a funny and true novel about Jason Herkimer as he confronts all these things and emerges triumphant. This book gets it right about being a boy at the start of adolescence.
