OverviewIt's tough being the new kid at Carver Elementary. Gavin had lots of friends at his old school, but the kids here don't even know that he's good at skateboarding, or how awesome he is at soccer. And when his classmate Richard comes over and the boys end up in trouble, not only does Gavin risk losing his one new friend, but he has to take care of his great-aunt Myrtle's horrible little dog as punishment. How is he ever going to prove he's cool with a yappy little Pomeranian wearing a pink bow at his side?
