In our younger years we tend to form special bonds with the close friends in our lives. However sometimes the hierarchy gets a little muddled and the obvious leaders end up somehow on the wrong side of the natural picking order! So what happens when Thomas and Jane end up as the scapegoats for the close friends failings? Yep, you guessed it. A whole lot of taunting and teasing! However Thomas is one clever kid and has an idea to rectify the situation! Of course it will mean a gathering at his parents house and a raid on his fathers fine scotch cabinet! Although that's not where the story ends as we discover the wicked elixir called "rocket fuel" many have significantly more effect on these unsuspecting bullies as first thought? What could this crazy concoction do to change the status of the order of merit amongst there rambunctious teenagers? Sometimes we really do need to accept our friends, warts and all.
