Seventh grader Mitch Sloan envisions his move to a new town as the chance to reinvent himself and escape the bullying he's previously experienced. Though he's not athletic, he knows sports and statistics and starts a lucrative betting ring. The school authorities don't approve, and even his new best friend questions his morality. Funny, thought-provoking, and as sporty as it is geeky.
