But as fun and tempting activities arise, Alexander faces a dilemma: can he resist the allure of mischief, or will his resolve crumble under the weight of irresistible fun?

Starting right this very minute. But there are all sorts of things that you can’t do when you’re being the Best Boy Ever. Fun things. Very important things. Things that Alexander might–just might–like a little bit more than he hates consequences.
