Cocky Seventh-grader, John 'Crash' Coogan, has been running over people since the day he used his first football helmet to knock his cousin flat on her backside. Shy, pacifist, Penn Webb, has been a favorite target for Crash's bullying for years. Through his grandfather's illness, Crash begins to see the value in things he had previously scorned, and he begins to see the importance of family and friendship.
