Twelve-year-old Alexis "Alex" Evins is a loner, a tomboy and a
first-class prankster, following in the not-so-glorious footsteps of her
older twin brothers, Parker and Nick. When the Evins siblings play a
prank that goes just a tad too far (resulting in setting a neighbor's
sofa--and hair--on fire), their dad decides it's time for some tough
love. He signs them up for an after-school program called Champs!, which
guarantees that it will turn any kid into a well-rounded success. Alex,
Parker and Nick all must pass the course together, or else it's off to
St. Ignacius private school (aka St. Ignasty).
At Champs!, Alex encounters more than a few nemeses, including the
Champs! coach, Sharon Success, mom of Alex's classmate, the totally
perfect and totally annoying Emily Gold, and the ultra-competitive Chloe
Stroupe. After weeks of intense classes, the Evins sibilings are soon
faced with the Champs! Championship, a test of teamwork, leadership, and
responsibility. Alex and her brothers are determined to win. But when an
earlier misstep threatens all their hard work, Alex finds herself
scrambling to make things right.
Can the "evil Evins" actually pass this course in one piece? Or are they
destined for an epic fail?
