Ellray Jakes may be the smallest kid in Ms. Sanchez's third-grade class, but he has a big personality! And he's not going to let Jared, the biggest kid in class, call him a chicken or get in the way a trip to Disneyland. All Ellray has to do is stay out of trouble for one week and keep away from Jared. The question is, can he do it?
Ellray wishes he had something cool to brag about. Jared's dad owns a brand-new car with flames painted on it, and Kevin's dad is rich but all Ellray's geologist dad has is a collection of rocks.
Things are going just swimmingly for EllRay. He's finally getting along with most of the kids at school. He's even getting along with his family. But then everything comes screeching to a halt when his younger sister accidently overfeeds the classroom goldfish EllRay was supposed to be taking care of over Spring vacation. What is EllRay going to tell his teacher and the kids in his third-grade …
Ellray knows a thing or two about getting picked on. So when he sees his sister, Alfie, being bossed around by a dragonlike girl at her school, Ellray wants to share his wisdom.
