(2) 4-6 Jerry Flack, a sixth-grade dork, gets lessons in coolness from his new friend Brenda. Jerry is accepted into the cool clique but inevitably learns that being cool means sublimating his true interests. It's a familiar story with a number of stereotyped characters, but humor keeps the plot jumping, and the novel's resolution is admirably restrained.
