Morris knows exactly what scares him: Calvin, the school bully, who is planning to "hammer him into the ground" today. Is his life really going to end just because Morris translated Calvin Porcus' name from Latin? At school, nearly all his friends have deserted him. Everybody wants to watch Morris get beaten up - except for Holly, the only person Morris knows who can stand up to Calvin. Together, they set out to fight back. Now all Morris has to do is find out what Calvin is scared of.
