Matt and Eric are best friends and are in marching band. Eric learns that he will be moving at the end of the year because his mom has gotten a job all the way across the US. Matt and Eric get made fun of because they like comic books and people say they are gay. Matt plays the piccolo (the only boy who ever has at his school) and Eric plays the drums, so during marching season Matt plays the bass drum. Kenny and Sean really bully them. As they find out they are going to an amusement park to perform at the end of the year, they hatch a plan to sneak off to a ComicCon and meet their favorite author, but Sean finds out and says he wants to come to, but this is their last hurrah together, so they don't want to include him (and the fact that he bullies them). Now there is some blackmail going on...both ways. Who knows what will end up happening, but it can't be good...
I like the fact that this a boy based book, and there is some diversity in race/ culture. Just didn't keep me reading.
