Robbie York is determined to transform his image at school. With superhero underwear and a mom who kisses him at the bus stop, he's got a plan: change his name, get jeans, and dodge bullies like Bo Haney. But can he really pull it off, or will his efforts lead to unexpected chaos? Dive into Robbie's world where every move counts, and nothing is as simple as it seems.
