Matt Tedesco would give anything to move up on the popularity list at Columbus Avenue Elementary School, and when his big chance comes, he blows it, which is nothing new. To make things worse, now Johnny Spampanato, the biggest kid in school, has "requested a meeting" on the playground, right after school. Will Matt be able to survive the day without getting beat up in front of everyone again? And if he doesn't, will he ever again be able to enjoy cafeteria food again without any teeth?
