\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Youngest kids in the school now,
gotta find your place all over again,
“Join a club” they say, “it’ll be fun\u2026” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being the first to sign up for a new club means that Jason and other seventh graders get to choose how things go, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm\u2026 H.A.I.R. Club isn’t about hair care at all (half the kids leave the first meeting) – its members are the only ones allowed to view the new state-of-the art security system<\/a> at Flounder Bay Upper School, Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their first task – find out who is stealing all the croutons from the school cafeteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So they watch the late night security recordings and see a skunk heading down the hall. Then, at exactly midnight, the cafeteria is filled with high school kids – how did they get in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few more viewings and the eight Club members discover that those teenagers are them, five years in the future – how is this possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And none of them really like how their future selves behave – what can they do about that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a liquid + security laptop accident, the Club seeks help from Jason’s techie uncle who’s mystified by the programs on the security system – really?!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are they really seeing recordings from their own futures?<\/a>
Why would a skunk seek out croutons?
Who donated the security system anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One humane skunk trap, midnight stakeout missions, the continuous mocking of Jason’s bratty little sister – upper school is definitely different than elementary school! (except that last part, of course)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If offered a chance to see into your own future, would you?
**kmm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
