Anyway, one day, after an altercation involving Noah, Beatrice, and local JerkJock Hash "Hashtag" Taggart, Donovan finds he now has to keep a good distance from the Taggarts' home, lest Beatrice be branded a "vicious dog" by Hash's family and put down. Donovan tries to keep this promise, but Noah won't sit idly by and let his friend's honour go undefended. So he decides to dress up in makeshift-[=WWE=] garb and go fight Hashtag himself.

Anyway, one day, after an altercation involving Noah, Beatrice, and local JerkJock Hash "Hashtag" Taggart, Donovan finds he now has to keep a good distance from the Taggarts' home, "Hashtag", lest Beatrice be branded a "vicious dog" by Hash's family and put down. Donovan tries to keep this promise, but Noah won't sit idly by and let his friend's honour go undefended. So he decides to dress up in makeshift-[=WWE=] garb and go fight Hashtag himself.himself.
Of course, Donovan has to violate the promise he made to the Taggarts to go stop Noah from being twisted into a human pretzel. He tracks Noah to the Taggarts' home and tries to talk Noah out of his plan, and then they have to hide when a large tanker truck full of gas stops in the Taggarts' driveway. Noah deduces that the truck's brakes can't hold the massive weight of the truck, and lo and behold, the truck starts barreling down the hill... straight towards the house across the street!
Not thinking, Donovan jumps into the driver's seat and manages to change the truck's direction so it misses the house and rolls into the pool. Donovan and Noah escape before anyone sees them, but soon the whole town is talking about the mysterious "Superkid" who saved Megan Mercury and her family, since it was their house that Donovan saved.
The whole town is asking for this mysterious hero to come forward so they can thank him. However, Donovan can't, because that would mean the Taggart's would realize he was at their house, and Beatrice would be taken away by Animal Control. So Noah decides to take the rap for him. Soon enough, Noah becomes the town darling. Being mobbed by legions of fans, being InWithTheInCrowd, and appearing on The Russ Trussman Hour.
Of course, Donovan finds he's getting jealous of Noah's newfound fame, partly because he knows Noah is covering for him. That said, he also thinks that the fame is going to Noah's head, and that it may be a matter of time before Noah lets slip, the truth comes out, and Beatrice is in serious trouble.
The book was published on January 2nd, 2018.
