When Zach starts 6th grade he has to deal with bullies like John, weird kids like "no-name" and Ralph, and people who treat him like garbage and don't even know his name. Most of the kids who go to his school are jerks and morons and he has to try to make friends with at least some of them. Will he be able to NOT be seen as a loser so he can at least leave school with a shred of dignity? Probably not.
