Description
At the same moment he catches his teacher giving illegal drugs to a student, Redmond Fairweather loses his friggin’ mind and steals Mr. Street’s prized possession—a stupid wooden sword with round edges that will never, ever cut through anything—“The Whomper.”
Soon, Redmond’s small band of misfit friends joins up with Elodia Cruz—the hottest girl in school—and her uber-popular friends to hold the Whomper for ransom, pull off an elaborate, broad daylight heist to steal something even bigger from Mr. Street, and expose their teacher for the scumbag he really is.
And if that sounds like OCEAN'S 11 by way of THE BREAKFAST CLUB, then you and the author of this book watch the same movies.
Inspired by a true story.
Really.

I loved this book so much more than I thought I would. It deals with so many things teenagers are going through, and it does it fairly well.
The narrator switching between characters sometimes had me a little confused, but I was able to sort it fairly quickly. That is one of the main reasons I did not give the book five stars.
