This year, at a new school in a new town. Jerry's decided to start a new life altogether -- as a Cool Guy. He's been preparing all summer: Studying teen magazines, watching music videos, and distressing his jeans. Things get off to a good start, but before you know it, Jerry finds himself tangled up in a complicated web of lies: what's more, he's battling a terrible urge to put his glasses back on, join the science team, and, worst of all, date Brenda, a one hundred percent geek. Does he really want to be a dork in disguise forever?

Annotation:

Jerry Flack, a sixth-grader at Nathaniel Hawthorne Middle School, wants to stop being a dork and hang with the cool crowd. In an effort to go from dorky to extra-super-cool, he stops wearing his pop-bottle glasses, wears hair gel, and makes up stories about meeting famous people. But soon he really misses being geeky and wants to go back to his old ways, but does he dare turn into a colossal dork again?
