Caleb Dunne is a self-pronounced slacker. After his brush with the law last winter, his overly-motivated semi- girlfriend Vicky insists that he begin attending craves. These are meetings for the new club modelled after the popular book The Rule of Won. At first, Caleb embraces the way and is ready to imanifest until his brain falls out, but before long, the group starts to take on an almost cult-like appearance and Caleb opts out. This seemingly harmless idea that you can get whatever you want by just believing starts a movement that gains popularity throughout Screech Neck High. It becomes apparent that if you aren't with the club then you are against it. Bullying, violence and stealing are just some of the various tactics these club-members employ to get their point across and it's time for someone to take a stand.

Opinion: 

Stefan Petrucha has a wonderful ability to make the characters come to life. Caleb, among others, has wonderful depth and a witty manner that entertained me throughout this book. Its language also drew me into the book and allowed me to visualize the various settings. One of the downfalls of the book is that I am unable to connect with some of the references to other sources that are made. Besides this, the book was an enjoyable read and is suitable for both boys and girls.
