　　校規的道理何在？我，為什麼要遵守？

　　克雷從小學入學開始，就被標上「麻煩製造者」的標籤。他所累積的輔導資料已經有5公分厚，而且仍持續增加中。這天上美術課時，他故意把凱林校長畫成一頭蠢驢，沾沾自喜的以為將了校長一軍！然而，校長可不是好惹的，況且他沒料到的是，原本應是盟友的哥哥米契爾，對於他的行為也不認同，這下克雷該怎麼辦？！

　　There’s a folder in Principal Kelling’s office that’s as thick as a phonebook and it’s growing daily. It’s filled with the incident reports of every time Clayton Hensley broke the rules. There’s the minor stuff like running in the hallways and not being where he was suppose to be when he was supposed to be there. But then there are also reports that show Clay’s own brand of troublemaking, like the most recent addition: the art teacher has said that the class should spend the period drawing anything they want and Clay decides to be extra “creative” and draw a spot-on portrait of Principal Kellings…as a donkey.

　　It’s a pretty funny joke, but really, Clay is coming to realize that the biggest joke of all may be on him. When his big brother, Mitchell, gets in some serious trouble, Clay decides to change his own mischief making ways…but he can’t seem to shake his reputation as a troublemaker.

　　From the master of the school story comes a book about the fine line between good-humored mischief and dangerous behavior and how everyday choices can close or open doors.
