Meet Flynn, in many ways a typical middle-grade school kid. Flynn's week ends on a high note of sorts-which is just as well, because as he found out the hard way, things aren't always what they appear at first. That, and some kids can be downright mean at times. If you're a typical sort of ten-year-old, then chances are you'll know about some of the difficulties Flynn faces. Like not having enough money, not getting straight answers from your parents, having older kids pick on you; maybe even feeling like you're not quite smart enough when you're one of the youngest entrants at a major school science expo. This story shows us one boy's approach at solving all of his problems creatively.
