Just as he enters his final year at Marcus Garvey Elementary, Tyrell realizes his hopes of becoming one of the oldest, wisest, and coolest kids in school pretty much go poof! For starters, something seems to be going on with his best friend, Boogie. He’s just not himself. Plus schoolwork is way harder than Tyrell thought it would be. And to make things worse, there’s a school show coming up at the end of the year that he is terrified of.

Of course, it’s not all bad. A pack of rabbits gets loose in the school. And when Principal Davis fell asleep with the intercom on, snoring for all the school to hear? Priceless. Tyrell relives these events and copes with all this stress the only way he knows how―through his imaginary “podcast” recording sessions held on the floor of his bedroom, often with his lovable bulldog, Monty, at his side.
