What would a class be without a dunce? A bit like a curry without spice. And Ducoboo sure spices up his fellow students' days. With him, school is an endless string of recesses. Of course, there's always Leonie, the terribly gifted girl who doesn't put up with Ducoboo's messing and doesn't believe in sharing answers. As usual, there's also the teacher, whose index finger turns out to be more threatening than ever. No, school life isn't one long, smooth ride. For some, the school year is perhaps the hardest time of all!
