Troubles with his obsessive dad, troubles with his failing math grade, troubles with his crush on lovely Phelicia, and trouble getting trounced in basketball by Phelicia's overprotective thug of a twin brother--eighth-grader Jason Hodges can't win. Some one-note secondary characters only slightly mar this amusing first-person tale with a math-to-the-rescue finish.
