Calvin Coconut-Do your parents
think you are a trouble magnet?  If
they do then you might have the
same life experiences as Calvin
Coconut.  He lives in a little town
named Kahlua, which is in Hawaii.  
Calvin has some teen age girl named
Stella coming over and he is terribly
mad because she has to sleep in his
room, while he sleeps in the storage
closet with all the bugs.  T.J., a bully
at school, gets upset when Calvin
spills grape drink on his smackdown
shirt.  Now he has problems at
school and home.  His friend Julio,
Maya, and Willy are helping him with
the trouble at school, while he faces
the one at home.
