Crash is a kid who is not very nice. He bullies a kid named penn. Crash's grandpa named scooter came to town. At the end crash becomes a different person because he actully appreciates what he has in his life and dosnt take it for granted! My favorite part was when penn, a boy tryed out for cheerleading. That was my favorite part because i could really imagine it.
