In a typical school year, every kid has one or two things go wrong. But for Jordan, there's A LOT going wrong ALL THE TIME. Take this year. Here are some of the thing going wrong: His teacher hates him, really hates him. Like, is totally out to get him even when he's trying to be good, and is willing to fail him on the simplest things, like show and tell. He has a slight breathing problem because of his asthma. His pet snake has given birth to way, way, way too many baby snakes, all who need a home. And all this doesn't even include the freak swing set accident, the fears inside his head, or the funniest class presentation ever. By keeping his cool, banging on the drums, and keeping his sense of humor, Jordan's going to try to make it through the year . . . and grow up to write a book about it!
