Wiggie Carter is a regular kid. Smart, but basically a lot like everyone else in the sixth grade–until his mom becomes the host of Jump Into Science, an educational TV show. Suddenly Wiggie is famous–a famous nerd. Even when Wiggie makes friends with Callie, an outcast by anyone’s definition, the lure of being one of the cool kids remain overwhelming. It’s not until the cool kids lead Wiggie into real trouble that he proves to himself, and everyone else, that being smart is cool–and that just being yourself is even better.
