Fourteen-year-old Gus goes from being one of popular kids to a victim on the lowest rung, all thanks to the new boy Steve. And as if that's not bad enough, Gus's big brother Luke develops an interest in the one girl Gus has his heart set on-and expects Gus to help him get her! What's a tender-hearted, budding gourmet to do? Lie down and take it-or take action?
