Westlake is a dying town. Even the annual carnival is considering not coming back. This is the story of four sixth graders trying to develop friendships and a town hoping to find a way to attract people to the town. Josh was born at the carnival and has his own prediction board (much like a Ouija board) which is always making misspelled predictions so he has to figure out what the board is trying to say. This 183 book is the humorous tale of four kids growing together in 6th grade.
