Plot- Jeff just started 8th grade and he has trouble getting through school. He doesn't get the best grades and he doesn't understand math. Tad tutors him because he has a math test coming up. He needs to pass the test in order to pass 8th grade. With his friends around him as a distraction it's harder for him to focus on passing.
Mood: The mood is often happy and you always want to know what happens next. One part is sad throughout the book but I don't want to give it away!
authors point- is to always try and never to give up.
Theme- It relates to me because even though Jeff can't do something he try's and works hard to make it his best.
