Chuck Bowinger hates seventh grade. For one thing, he's transformed over the past year from a cute little chubby-cheeked sixth-grader into a gangly, pimple-faced freak of nature. On top of that, his grades are dismal, he's tongue-tied around his crush, and Bailey Higgens trips him in the hallways on a daily basis. One day, Chuck gets a killer idea: to cajole his techie best friends, Max and Rainie, into building a lookalike android to take his place. Enter C.H.U.C.K.: a handsome, smarter, more confident version of Chuck himself! Chuck holes up in the family basement and watches on his tablet as his creation crushes tests, bests the bully, and even gets the girl. Soon, however, Chuck wants his life back, but the android refuses to let him have it. Now it's Chuck vs. C.H.U.C.K.-and may the best boy (or bot) win.
