Charlie Bumpers juggles school bullies and a wacky scheme to keep his
best friend from moving in this heartfelt conclusion to Bill Harley's
beloved middle grade series.
When Charlie learns that Hector's family is moving back to Chile at the
end of the year, he is crushed. So with Tommy's help, he immediately
starts cooking up schemes to keep Hector here, including a campaign to
get him selected as next year's School Ambassador. (Surely Hector will
have to stay, Charlie reasons, if he has such an important job.) As
usual, Charlie's schemes lead to one near-disaster after another.
But moving away from his friends turns out to be the least of Hector's
problems. Three mean boys have targeted him for bullying and are making
his life miserable. Hector wants to solve the problem by himself, but
Charlie and Tommy see that he needs help. They start a campaign to save
Hector and to defeat The Jerzollies of Darkness.
