Everyone at Rob's school is excited about an upcoming riff on the Hunger Games created by Principal Smelt: the Fun-ger Games.

MESS
I know, I know — I blew it. Seriously, my life has become the kind of sticky mess that other sticky messes probably gross out about.
Most of the people in my life won't even talk to me at the moment or acknowledge that I exist.
Sadly, being so disliked doesn't mean I can stop writing down or doodling what I'm going through. I would love to be buried by a big pile of leaves or blankets and left alone for the rest of my life, but there are things I have to do.
I used to have no interest in books, and I definitely had no desire to write or draw things from my life for scientific purposes. But the world needs to know about my closet and what it can do. So despite being disliked by almost everyone I know at the moment, I must keep writing.
My life is in ruins. I've let my parents down.
My older sister, Libby, hates me just as much as ever.
Janae, the girl I've been crushing on for years, won't even look at me. I could change my style completely and she still wouldn't glance my way.
Even my little brother, Tuffin, doesn't look up to me anymore.
Yes, things are uncomfortable. It feels like the time my dad did the laundry and accidentally shrunk all my clothes.
