Story of a 7th grader who gets bullied at school. So, his mom pulls him out for "correspondence school." He ends up feeling even more lonely until he inadvertantly becomes friends with an ex-con. They join the local Scrabble club where he finally starts to find his place. The story deals with how making one bad choice can change the direction of your life, and how sometimes you have to let go of the past to move forward.
