(4) 4-6 Eighth-grade nemeses Mick and Boot are ordered by their principal to play games in order to reach an accord. Alternating chapters give each boy's perspective on his difficult life and on the scheming girl who manipulates them both. Though the story drags at first, the book provides an insightful, realistic, and sobering look at the game of life.
