This is a book about middle school, and all that is middle school--the good, the bad, and the ugly: friendships, embarrassing moments (like throwing up on the Principal's shoes in front of the whole school!), romance, bullying, class elections, popularity, and invisibility. Reggie McKnight is dealing with a lot during his 8th grade year, especially since he earned the nickname "Pukey" on the first day of school. Reggie's dad can't find a job, his older sister is mean, his comic book isn't coming together like he wants, and he has questions about a lot of big things like homelessness, and God. Luckily, he has great friends. And some surprising experiences--like being a Big Brother to a kid at a local homeless shelter--inspire him to do the impossible: stand up on a cafeteria table and announce he's running for class president!
