Bobby, Skeezie, Addie, and Joe are "the misfits." They're used to being called names, but they know they're better than the names they're called. After years of insults, the Gang of Five is determined to stop name-calling at their school. Finally they are going to stand up and be seen—not as the one-word jokes their classmates have tried to reduce them to, but as the complicated human beings they are just beginning to discover they truly are.
