Synopsis/Details
It's hard to be the new kid at school, especially if your father has just passed away. But Izzy Bloom doesn't wallow in this miserable existence, she uses it to her benefit. She learns about a challenge that occurs every year, where students from both her school and their rival high school try to steal each other's mascot.
Izzy believes that stealing the mascot will help garner her "mad respect and glory" and help her get a nerd gang off her back and win the attention of the boy of her dreams, Charlie Drumhouse. She and Charlie assemble a team of nerd all-stars to take on the challenge. But the gang he's up against will stop at nothing to protect their status as the king of the high school nerd hill, and having the backing of the school principal only seems to solidify their position.
But this isn't just any mascot they want to steal -- this is a 500 pound hog, and stealing it is probably not something they teach at Izzy's high school. The team needs help -- someone who's handled dangerous missions before. Enter the school's head of security, "Killer" Mankins, a rough, gruff, former Navy Seal. If anyone can help train them, this guy can. Except he has no interest in getting involved, and the school's principal has declared that anyone who does take on the challenge will be suspended from school
With some persuasion from an unlikely source, Killer acquiesces to Izzy's demands, and the training begins. Unfortunately, the training doesn't go as expected, and the principal and the rival gang try to shut it all down. Killer gets caught in the crossfire and his job is a casualty. Seeking revenge, Killer sends the team on a dangerous mission into their own school to prove their worth and to prepare them for the challenge.
Successful in that mission, the team undertakes the effort to steal their rival's mascot -- at a party attended by the most of the enemy students. It's an undercover adventure with plenty of fireworks, chases and best of all, a flying pig.
Ultimately, "Squeal Team Six" is a story about acceptance, loss, and perseverance, and how standing up for others is just as important as standing up for yourself.
