In 1995 a group of fifth graders took over their school, completely. The principal had made way too many unfair rules, so they decided to do something about it. They tricked the principal, the teachers, and even the whole town and ran the school for a day by themselves. They ruled! But it wasn't easy. There were unexpected events that caused one dangerous crisis after another. Despite taking those risks, none of the students had any regrets when it was all over.
