Jesse is in his final year of primary school and should be living it up as one of the 'Kings', but he can't even get his Prep buddy to follow school rules. It's the first day of school and I've already got three problems: 1. Mrs Leeman is my classroom teacher. She's so ancient she taught my dad. 2. I might have accidentally been voted school captain. I had an unusually popular day when the class voted last year. 3. Somehow I've lost my Grade Six jumper between receiving it and Mrs Leeman's lecture about being responsible. That's a lot to go wrong in half an hour. On top of that, it's a million degrees. So that's four problems. It's worse than I thought! At least things can only get better, right? Jesse will have to navigate the rites and rituals of Grade Six including a disrespectful Prep buddy, a plumbing problem the size of Niagara Falls, not to mention the dreaded compulsory school camp.
