YA
Jake Schwartz and his friends' saga continues: eighth grade commences and the foursome scatters to different schools. Ramifications from the previous year's gang-related drama (Trash Can Days) haunt all four in myriad ways as the narrative's innovative (sometimes distracting) multimedia format (emails, social-media comments, fliers, etc.) documents new challenges. Dorothy emerges as the true star of this sequel as she wackily celebrates individuality.
