This book did not appeal to me until its conclusion. A Great Stone Face nominee this year, its main character is a 6th-grader who cheated and faked his way into an Arts School as a piano player. The entire book, he is nervous about fitting in. He decides to call himself The Dentist and has everyone else do it, just so he fits in, because in this school, "Let your freak flag fly." In other words, be yourself. By the end, he realizes he is not a piano player and he does find his true talent. It is silly and many students will like its humor. I was not a fan. (FIC ROB)
