Publisher's Synopsis
Grayson Jones is an energetic and spirited student who often finds himself in chaotic situations. When his teacher, Mr. Pennington, announces a debate project on World History in the 1950s, Grayson is more excited about working in a team than the actual debate. He is paired with Maya, Theo, Jasmine, and Percival, a new foreign exchange student with a quick temper. The team faces numerous challenges, from picking a topic to dealing with Grayson's forgetfulness and Percival's perfectionism.
Despite their differences, the team starts to come together, with each member contributing their unique strengths. Grayson, however, struggles with his ADHD and often gets distracted. The team faces a major setback when Grayson accidentally deletes their shared document, but they rally together to rewrite their sections. Just when things seem to be improving, Grayson goes missing, causing the team to worry and search for him.
Grayson eventually returns with new research and a renewed sense of purpose. The team works tirelessly to prepare for the debate, but tensions rise, especially with Percival's high expectations. On the day of the debate, the team presents their arguments passionately, but they lose to their rivals. However, they soon receive a letter revealing that their rivals had cheated, and they are invited to the state competition.
And now, as they prepare for the state competition, Grayson and his team are about to face their biggest challenge yet. Will they rise to the occasion and prove their worth, or will their differences tear them apart? Stay tuned to find out!
