    Dexter just moved and it is very tough for him to not take out his anger on other people.

    First he has to move because his dad is sick but not only that but he also has to go to a new school. this book is not too sad and is sort of funny. This book will have you wwondering what will happen after Dexter make crazy choices and gets into truble.when Dexter goes to his new school he meets new people but still want to move back to his old town.when Dexter goes to school he gets into a fight but if you read this book you will know what happens a the end.
