Blitzkrieg Bop'd On the first day of tenth grader, Lee Ping is framed for a mind-blowing prank and thus is sentenced to one full year of detention and one full year of grounding. Lee's fellow inmate Biff convinces him to sneak out of detention to collect evidence from the auditorium which can prove his innocence. The only thing Lee can salvage is a camera phone which contains a picture of someone messing with Lee's bag during the Prank, and when Lee finds a match for the hand in the photo he will clear his name. |

Skate or Die Having failed to find the prankster on the previous day, Lee is at a dead end. Luckily Lee encounters a group of students known as the Skaters who state they were responsible for the paint portion of the Prank and request instructions on more pranks from Lee. Misunderstanding Lee's intentions, they plot to rig the Student of the Week vote to come up as Principal General Barrage and dump the remaining paint on him on live TV along with the host Tina and Chaz. Lee is narrowly able to avert the disaster (as he doesn't want Tina to have paint dumped on her) and in the process learns the email address of the prankster, Radcircles@ANigmahigh. |
