Fourth grader Paul E. Peterson hates Polly Potty. Unfortunately, Paul is Polly Potty, at least in the eyes of the school bully. Misadventure, mistakes, and messes rule Paul's normal life. When he concocts a plan to win over his classmates, it could send his reputation sky high, or make his life garbage can awful. Can Paul change his lousy reputation to make some real friends, or will Brayden the Bully win another school battle?
