Synopsis
Just
another revolting day at Laverton Jr. High: A funny, quirky young
reader novel from the author of Getting to First Base With Danalda
Chase
Clouds McFadden is definitely different. With his shock of red hair,
his disarming manner, and an opening greeting of “Good day,
fellow proletariats,” this transfer student to Laverton Junior
High looks ready to shake the boredom from his adopted grade eight
class. Which is fine with Chris, who, quite frankly, is tired of
tyrannical teachers, cool girl cliques and boring work. When Clouds
proposes to Chris and a select group of other grade eights that
they can change their school world for the better with just a little
revolutionary zeal, everyone gets into the act. Inspired by historical
figures, the group manages to humiliate a nitpicking teacher through
the use of a secret tape recorder (known as operation “Code:
Nixon”), infiltrate the cool girls’ club (“Code:
Queen Elizabeth”) and stage a passive resistance to boring
note taking (“Code: Gandhi”). But then Clouds goes too
far in his desire for revenge on Principal Dorfman—and the
revolution takes a frighteningly real turn.
