Some kids are scared of the dark. Others are afraid of monsters. But when it comes to ten-year-old Kayden Richards...well, let's just say he's really not a fan of pickles. And while you might think that no normal person should ever be frightened of a food, perhaps the reason why Kayden hates pickles so much is because he's always in one-whether he's causing mischief at home, finding himself in sticky situations at school, or brewing up trouble with the old ladies in his neighborhood's watch group. But hey, life is hard enough when you're ten. And that's before you throw in a mother who's a drill sergeant, a wild skydiving grandma, and an annoying little brother whose name rhymes with yours. Not to mention being stuck with a broom-riding witch and mad scientist as your teachers. Plus, a kid on your basketball team whose main goal in life is to make yours miserable. But with Kayden so busy trying to steal the spotlight and seek revenge, will he ever stop to learn the importance of working together as a team?
