"Just the right amount of humor, angst, sadness and redemption." ~ 5-star Amazon reader review
There's good trouble, bad trouble . . . and this kind of trouble.
Bristling under the unforgiving scrutiny of the principal of his new private school, sophomore Jon Matthew cobbles together a loose coalition of allies to help keep himself from getting expelled from his second school in a row: Molly, a skateboarding loner burdened by a tragic event in her past; Bill, who has an epic crush on Molly but doesn’t know how to talk to her; and Lauren, the girl who Jon will do anything for, but who's trying to become a Cool Kid instead of appreciating the real friendships she already has.
On the verge of finally escaping “Christ Almighty School for the Hopelessly Insane,” Jon tragically loses someone he loves. Faced with a sudden opportunity to return to the public school he’s been trying to get back into, Jon discovers his head and his heart have very different ideas about what matters most in a school, in a teacher, and in a friend.
