Stereotypical wimpy kid (he eats veggie burgers!) Charlie is the target of bullies; his gal-pal sidekick, Franki, wants him to stand up for himself, but how? An eccentric teacher gives out journals, and suddenly the escapist superhero-revenge fantasies Charlie pens start coming true. Middle school tropes and obvious humor slow down the action, but Charlie and Franki's maturing friendship adds emotional depth.
