YA
As a joke, Bobby and his friends submit a fake application to a private school under the name Rowan Pohi. After Rowan is admitted, Bobby assumes the fictional identity. He struggles to maintain his friendships and his place at the school while dealing with family secrets. Though the premise and many plot points are glaringly implausible, Bobby's travails may entertain readers.
