Luego de ver un documental sobre los problemas de salud que provoca la comida rápida, Ian organiza un boicot para que la gente no coma en Frankie's, una cadena de restaurantes con un pésimo menú.

When Ian and his classmates watch a documentary about the health concerns of eating fast food, Ian decides to start a boycott and stop everyone he can from eating at Frankie's, a huge fast-food chain with a questionable menu.

"An engaging story for middle school readers...Walters has written a book that would be an excellent starting point for discussion about political activism."

"All teenagers will relate to this story...The plot moves quickly and characters are, at times, humorous, and other times, serious...With social networking issues at the forefront of society today, readers will find the topic to be relevant."
