Class
clown Gary "Goon'' Boone loves to tell jokes, but everyone else is

decides to perfect his humor and show everyone just how funny he can be.
But the road to success has many potholes and Gary's dreams may be headed
for disaster. |
Bradley
Chalkers is a misfit, a liar, and a bully. He doesn't have friend in the
world. The kids think he's a monster, and Bradley seems to agree. When
he is sent to the new school counselor, she sees the likable Bradley beneath
the "monster". But just as she begins to build Bradley's self-confidence,
the school board decides to replace her with a computer. |
Laura
has what seems like a great idea. She will start a secret club called
Pig City. To make sure members keep the club secret, they must reveal
something embarrassing to the other members as "insurance".
Before long everything is out of control—Pig City has a rival, the
secrets are exposed, and Laura loses her hair (sort of). |
