keeps hearing that, one day, Kate's life will
be meaningless & miserable. But she feels it's
just so hard to wait.
Gordo
shows her a tape that shows embarrassing stuff
about Kate & a few other kids. Lizzie thinks he
should figure out a way to get everyone to see
it. |

| Miranda
has great fun seeing Gordo's tape that shows embarrassing
stuff about the kids at school.
Then
she gets to see herself recorded on tape saying:
"It's this whole place. It's the way people say
one thing to your face & another behind your back
... It's a school full of fakes."
She
thinks they should not let anyone see it. |

| Gordo |
| Gordo
has his debut as the director of a real-life documentary
in a film competition. His documentary is one
of the three films selected for the finals.
The
film is screened at school, and almost everybody
thinks it's great. But Gordo has already decided
the hidden camera stuff is old school, and he'll
be moving onto the next big thing. |

| Kate |
| Kate
is fourteen, which means she's one year older
than the other seventh graders. To her, this is
a big personal secret.
She
feels revealing the secret will totally ruin her
image at school. She hears Gordo has made a film
about the school, and wonders how he could do
a movie about the school without her in it. |

| Matt |
| Matt
decides not to be a doctor or a lawyer, because
that would require years of schooling. He decides
to be a stuntman, because he can be a stuntman
right now.
Then
he changes his mind, and wants to be a daredevil.
When he finds out being a daredevil is going to
hurt, he starts thinking maybe he doesn't want
to be a daredevil any longer. He wonders whether
he should be a rock star instead. |

| Jo
& Sam |
| Mom
Jo & Dad Sam worry about Matt's ideas for stunts:
getting run over with a car; jumping through a
ring of fire; parachuting with an umbrella; bungee-jumping
with panty hose.
Then
they are happy to see Matt getting into cooking.
They decide not to tell him they like it, or he'll
stop doing it. |
