School is bad enough for Quinn Compton. Lockers are broken into, robbed, and vandalized. Its a place where false rumors are spread, even on washroom walls. Bullies seem to be everywhere, even on You Tube, and some of them are girls! Its definitely a place where snitches get stitches. Some of the teachers, like Mr. Tiburon, who never laughs, seem to be even meaner than the kids.
Just when it seemed that things couldnt get any worse, Quinn gets an assignment that means he has to speak in front of the whole class. It might be the thing he fears most in life.
Luckily, hes got some great people in his corner. Theres his best friend, Keenan, always loyal, who laughs at all his jokes and is a great student too.
Hes got his new tutors, On Time, who tells jokes and makes sure hes never late, and Vicky, who keeps him organized. She also believes that you have to face your fears.
Facing his fears is not going to be easy at this school. Theres a lot to be afraid of. Quinn is in for a lot of action and adventure!
