Its Joe Connollys first day at secondary school and everything is going wrong. How do you survive the worst first day ever without your best friend by your side?

It is Joes 12th birthday and he cant wait for everyone at school to know, until he learns about the school tradition of birthday beats.

Joe knows he will be humiliated if he admits to being scared of Siobhan Murphys terrifying Halloween story.

Joe arrives at the disco with high hopes of a slow dance with Daisy Adeyemi. The only thing standing in his way is his best friend, Frisbo, who has his own high hopes of knee sliding. And girls dont like knee slides.

After forgetting his permission slip for the school trip, Joe faces a day in school without friends. But luckily Lily Scott will also be in school. Finally, Joe can have a conversation with her.

Joes shoe begins to squeak, and its funny - at first. But after several lessons of his friends laughing at him, Joe gets back at Frisbo and the two fall out.

Joe Connolly has never been in a fight, but that doesnt stop him from getting the reputation as the toughest kid in year 7.

Joe Connolly is Lily Scotts boyfriend and everything is great. But Joe soon realizes he cannot just be a boyfriend, he must be a good boyfriend.

Its the Year 7 talent show, and Frisbo will perform his greatest ever magic trick with Joe as his stooge. But Joe has bigger problems with which to deal.

Joe Connolly is on a losing streak. With Sports Day fast approaching, he needs to avoid losing again at all costs.
