| Summary: | Dante Nimrod Ferno is winning . . . at being a loser. Ever since his pants fell down in front of the entire school, his life has been nothing short of embarrassingly uncool. Never fear, once Dante starts sixth grade, he has a 100% fool-proof plan to become the Most Popular Kid at Purg Middle 1. Completely reinvent himself. 2. Make a ton of new friends and humbly accept his nomination as their honorary leader. 3. Become good at sports and win all the game things. 4. Rub his newfound popularity in the face of all the haters and jerks he grew up with. Sounds easy, right? Well, think again. Purg Middle School is full of infamous creatures from myths and legends, like the grim-reaper bus driver, Mr. Charon, and Dante's angelic new friend, Virgil. Many of them won't let Dante forget his dorky reputation so easily. With bullies and beasts afoot, Dante has his work cut out if he's going to show the world that he is NOT a loser. |
