Roy Eberhardt is tired of being the new kid at school every time his family moves, which is often. This time, it's even worse because Dana Matherson, the school bully, chooses Roy as his target. Thankfully, a soccer player named Beatrice befriends Roy, and they stand up to the bully. Meanwhile, Roy is trying to solve the town mysteries. Who is the wild-looking boy who never comes to school? Who is trying to keep the new pancake restaurant from being built, and why? The answers lead to a new question: can Roy and friends save the home of the endangered burrowing owl?

Roy comes from a tight-knit family, but he and his friends lie, steal, cheat and break the law to accomplish their goals. The group's success is applauded, but they never face consequences for their underhanded tactics. Although the film is fairly free of vulgarity, Clubhouse readers would be wise to blink and miss it.
