(3) YA In this companion to Swim the Fly, Cooper is partnered in health class with Helen, a girl with a loser reputation. He decides the only way to regain his cache of cool is to win the Battle of the Bands; too bad he and his friends don't play any instruments. Interwoven into this humorous romp are lessons about social status and individuality.
