Have you just found out about your diabetes? Do you hate feeling different from everyone else? Isn't it sickening how people act all squirmy and pathetic when you test your blood? No matter how rotten your diabetes management is going, you're probably doing ten times better than Roland, the guy in this book. What's it about? It starts out with sixth-grader Roland ÏWeeWeeÓ Weedervich feeling horrified because he's just caught his electronic-hat-wearing grandma showing off her artificial leg to unsuspecting shoppers at the mall. The trouble is, these unsuspecting shoppers just happen to be the snobbiest and most popular kids from RolandÌs school. Fortunately for him Ò and unfortunately for her Ò this really cute girl, Crystal Nellson, has problems that are even worse. Despite his anger and shame about his new diagnosis, the annoying antics of his bad-mannered beagle, and the embarrassing escapades of the planetÌs most bizarre family, Roland is rewarded with true friendship as he helps Crystal solve The Case of the Sacked Potatoes.
