This second volume in the Berrybrook Middle School series is just as charming and engaging as the first. Jensen (a member of the art club and friends with the previous book's protagonist Peppi Torres) is a daydream and a dabbler of many interests: space travel, Mars colonization, video games, comics, zombie apocalypse survival techniques, amateur journalism... What he isn't good at is defending himself against the twin hazards of outright bullying and low level mean jokes that come even inside his own friend circle. Jensen doesn't see himself as a victim, but as a wily survivor of the dangerous middle school halls. When he is presented with an opportunity to change not only his own situation, but also the whole culture of the school for the better, will he be brave enough to take it?
