Plot
[edit]The story is a classic life of boarding school[3] adventure involving TJ with six of his friends while in 7th grade. The boys are initially shocked by all the hoops they have to jump in order to survive teachers, prefects, wicked seniors, dining hall food, thieves, cutting grass, washing toilets and all the other regular experiences anyone in a public Nigerian boarding school[4] would experience. But when TJ and the boys accidentally see a man and two female students in a compromising position, what they do with that information is not their only problem in school, but the resulting scandal would change their lives far beyond their wildest dreams.[5]
