The first cardinal rule of school survival is to stay out of the way of the nasty students.
The second cardinal guideline for surviving school is to find and join organisations that share your interests.
Penelope, often known as Peppi Torres, reminds herself of these fundamentals on her first day of school. However, she breaks the first rule right away when she bumps into Jaime Thompson, a quiet lad in the hallway, and the cruel students start labelling her the "nerder girlfriend." What is her approach to this crisis? by pushing the unfortunate Jaime and taking off!
Peppi reverts to rule two and surrounds herself with new acquaintances from the art group, but she can't help but feel guilty about how she handled Jaime. Not only are things uncomfortable between the two already, but he is a member of the scientific club, which is her own club's fiercest competitor! And Peppi discovers that sometimes breaking the rules is necessary to get by in middle school as the two clubs go to war!
