(W) Rex Ogle (A) Dave Valeza. It's time to face facts! On the first day of seventh grade* Rex encounters a bump in the road a big angry pimple right in the center of his forehead. And this is only the beginning of his problems. What follows is a frustrating battle with stubborn acne* body odor* and other embarrassments of puberty. Still struggling with a home life edging on the poverty line* Rex can't afford to buy the acne medication or deodorant he needs* and bullies are noticing Rex's awkward transformation. On top of it all* things have gotten weird with his friends* making Rex feel like he can't do or say anything right. So far* seventh grade stinks!
