Meet sixth-grader Jake Mathews, whose life is turned upside down when his family moves from Florida to Maryland, where Jake must adapt to a new school. Jake has always ranked the kids at school in his hand-made, humorous “Kid Cards,” and when he arrives at his new school, Jake starts building a new collection, befriending as many people as he can while staying under the radar from the school bully. But what happens when the school bully decides Jake's next in line for annihilation and his Kid Cards get into the wrong hands?!!

Jake narrates his tale with a voice that is equal parts bitter and innocent, tragic and witty, sarcastic and sweet, and his tale of love lost and love found, of confusion and identity, will resonate with all readers who have struggled with what it means to belong.
