This book is about five intelligent and talented young men (Denton, Wendell, Eddie, Elijah, and Bijay) who undergo many common obstacles. One of the big barriers is the standardized tests. They also withstand some very difficult and unique problems. It all starts when their vice principal, Snodgrass, accuses them of stealing money from the school bake sale. Snodgrass locks them in the school basement for a whole week, all they are left to do is eat, sleep, and study. Coach McKenzie, the gym teacher, visits them three times a day, to give them their breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
