Gym class is about to get legendary.
Meet Vittorio Waynard Gretzky, "No relation ". He is a curly-haired, wise-cracking cool kid with a big heart and a love for action.

When a dry history lesson in the Fig Grove Elementary gym puts his crew to sleep, Vittorio clicks the button on a mysterious vintage compass from Auntie Feathers. Powered by his hyper-focused imagination, the compass teleports Vittorio, Xuan Lin, and Langston straight to the scorching deserts of ancient Egypt
