Anton has it all set out for middle school. His plan is to blend in, avoid standing out in any way, a small part of the large herd of students. But of course, things are not going according to plan. Based on a complete misunderstanding, all of a sudden Anton is considered one the cool guys, an image he has to struggle really really hard to maintain. For Anton, surviveing middle school is like an animal`s battle for survival. He must decide who he wants to be: an ordinary gnu amongst gnus, or a lion who eats gnus for breakfast.
