Derek Fallon discovers all the angst that comes with being twelve─he just wants to feel grown up, but life gets in the way with a series of mishaps that make him look like a baby.

He passes out during a worm dissection in science class, falls flat on his face in gym class and gets a fat lip that causes him to lisp all day, and his plans for a monster-truck party turn into a bouncy house disaster. Why isn't being in middle school as great as Derek imagined?

Thankfully, with a little help from his friends─and, ironically, a Toys for Tots fundraiser─things seem like they could start shaping up at last.


塗鴉天才德列克 又來了!12歲的他這次想要探索成長的滋味，但卻不斷碰到一堆不幸的事情，讓他又像個小孩一樣無助...

無論是在實驗教室的蟲蟲解剖過程昏倒、在體育課中跌倒得了個厚唇，使他一整天口齒不清、還是計畫中的怪物卡車派對變成了蹦跳屋災難，這所有事情都毀了德列克對中學的美好想像。

不過幸好也諷刺地是...在他那專門為「小朋友玩具募款」的好朋友的幫忙之下，這些悲慘的事情終於有了轉機。
