Description
If you're about to enter this book, we have a piece of advice for you. Be careful in there. Be very careful. Making the wrong moves can get nasty!
It's your first day at your new school. By lunchtime, you could have gone into the wrong toilets, gate-crashed the staff room, blown up the science block, been hypnotised by the principal, asked for a date, broken every bone in your body. It's up to you.
You could have felt joy, fear, love, revenge, rage, embarrassment... It's up to you. You could have become your school's biggest hero... or its biggest loser. You make it happen.
