He can find the punchline in any situation even in his limited vision and prosthetic eye. During the past year at Addison School for the Blind Ryders quick wit earned the respect and friendship of his classmates. Heading to mainstream or normal school for eighth grade is going to be awesome.After all whats not to like? At Addison Ryder was everyones favorite person. He could make anyone laugh especially his best friend Alice. So long as he can be first to make all of the oneeyed jokes Ryder is sure hell fit in just as quick at Papuaville Middle School home of the Fighting Guinea Pigs. But Alice warns him fitting in might not be as easy as he thinks.Turns out Alice was right. In just the first hour of normal school Ryder is attacked by General MacCathur II (aka Grampss cat) causes his bio teacher to pass out cold makes an enemy out town hero Max and falls for Jocelyn the fierce girl next door who happens to be Maxs girlfriend. On top of that Ryder struggles to hold onto his dignity in the face of students pity and Grampss nonstop practical jokes.Ryder quickly sees the only thing worse than explaining a joke is being the punchline.
