Can a kid outsmart a computer and his school?

This book was funny and awsome. I read it when I was in high school- 10 years ago.The ideas of outsmarting the school, graduating early, and fooling the 'know it all' computer are just irrisitably fun. The story itself was humorous.I rember the scene where Conte introduced himself to a girl in the office and she laughed at him and said, "do you always talk backward?" and he said, "Do I Yes." and walked out the door backward.

Hilarious!

This book is about a freshman named Conte Mark who decides to try to get away with an amazing prank--be two people at the same time. His new high-school programs him as two people--Conte Mark and Mark Conte. With a wild plan and a couple of helpful friends he almost accomplishes it. This is a fun book for any teenager.
