Cameron Boxer is a middle school student who desires to only game and not be active in his school, but his parents desire for him to strive to do something other than video games. Therefore, he and his friends decide to come up with a fake club and hack into the school's website hoping that no one would find out. Furthermore, people found out, and everybody at school joined. In the end, he actually enjoyed taking a break from gaming and liked helping others.

Cameron had some rough times in the book when his family was struggling with their store. I can relate this to the world when amazing businesses start to go downhill because of new competitors in that industry. He and his family struggled through that and it became better for them.
