Summary: Funny and clever but far from perfect, third-grader EllRay Jakes competes in an unofficial popularity contest and finds himself in a terrible mess!
EllRay's fail-safe plan to earn respect includes dazzling his classmates with his dad's prized crystal collection. But when he brings the collection to school (without his father's permission) things go horribly wrong. He gives away the crystals and then must face his father's anger. His father gives him an ultimatum: Get them back, or face the consequences. EllRay's stuck between a rock and a hard place!
