SUMMARY
Just like any kid, ten-year
old Jack wants to go to school and play with others his own
age. But Jack is no ordinary kid. A rare medical condition
has caused Jack to age at four times the normal rate, making
him a child in a man's body! On Jack's first day at school,
he fits neither into the desk not in with his classmates...who
at consider him more of a freak than a friend. It's not until
Jack's awkward encounter with girls and his calamitous treehouse
sleepover that 5th grade becomes the adventure of his life.
