Overview

Who are the Obnoxious Jerks?

A: The weirdest band of total misfits ever seen at any known high school in the free world.
B: Amateur comedians whose routines include kazoos, used chewing gum, and gooey lemon meringue pies.
C: Members of a club whose Official Ice Cream Flavor is Nuts to You.
D: A disorganized organization whose exploits are required reading for anybody with a sense of humor.

All of the above--and more . . . and now they fit into your Nook!

There are jerks in every high school. The Obnoxious Jerks are found only at Ullman Griswold Memorial High (or, as they prefer to call it, UGH). They specialize in pranks (better known as "jerk-outs") designed to show how ridiculous some school rules can be. Which means the detention hall sometimes becomes the Jerks' unofficial meeting room.

Then something happens to shake up Jerkdom: A girl known as "Iceberg" Freeze asks to join the all-male club-that's-not-a-club. It's not long before she finds herself at the center of the greatest jerk-out ever--one that involves picket signs, mass demonstrations, and guys wearing skirts.

What's acceptable behavior? What's worth fighting for? The Obnoxious Jerks twist, bend, and break the rules to find out. And in the process learn a lot about questioning not only the outside world, but also themselves.
