A school that encourages students to sleep in, misbehave, solve problems by erasing them off the board, and wreak havoc wherever they go... sounds perfect, right? For most people in Monster Land, yes! But all Flop wants to do is learn. Much to his parents' great disappointment, he insists on getting to school on time, on reading books, keeping a clean room and playing with his telescope and chemistry set. As shown in a series of short stories, it's tough being a smart nerd in a place full of dummies who love to destroy things for the fun of it!
