Mariano’s day has hit rock bottom—now even puppies, kittens, and elephants seem like they want to take a pee on him! It all started when he and his friends tried to rescue classmates from the pranks of Randiva and her gang.

From then on, those troublemakers made his life miserable. To escape this predicament, they must rip off the masks of those “model students” and show the principal the truth—his son isn’t as perfect as he believes.
