(4) 4-6 Sixth grader Zack, struggling with his parents' divorce and middle school, has managed to remain mostly invisible until he impulsively defends a bullied classmate and becomes the target of teasing. An attempt to divert peer attention results in Zack being charged with managing a class fundraiser. Middle school insecurities, cliques, awkwardness, and embarrassment are realistically, if a bit overemotionally, portrayed.
