But his middle school reality is VERY different-math is hard, getting along with friends is hard.Even finding a partner for the class project is a huge problem when you always get picked last. I thoroughly enjoyed this graphic novel.In his daydreams, Jensen is the biggest hero there ever was, saving the world and his friends on a daily basis. I really liked the psychological theory introduced as well. He's capable, but he doesn't have the organizational skills necessary.
He keeps saying, "I'll do that," but then he fails to make the time to get it done. Jensen lives in his own world at the beginning his imagination carries him away and he fails to pay attention to the here and now, imagining a future where he saves the day. As he looks around, he wonders if he has any true friends. Jensen finds several good people as he realizes that some people he thinks are friends often say mean things to him. The bullies seems to back down when he's around.
If someone is treated badly, he steps in. He finds a super nice guy to be his partner for a project in a class and realizes that this guy watches out for other students. He begins to answer the questions and realizes he does hide from certain people and maybe he is, indeed, a victim.
He doesn't realize how badly people treat him. He fails to find time to read the article they want him to read, only to discover it's about why people bully others. He finds it unusual that he's asked to be interviewed by the newspaper staff. He's ready for a zombie apocalypse or whatever might befall, for he has a plan! What he fails to prepare himself for are the bullies and the mean comments friends make in the guise of "kidding." He often finds himself on the outskirts of groups-not excluded necessarily on purpose but more as an afterthought where there's no more room. Jensen possesses a very optimistic vision of the disastrous future.
