description: Justin Lucas just started at a new high school but there are no classes in really important stuff like English literature mathematics science or history. Instead the entire curriculum is dedicated to playing dodgeball. Justin is...perplexed. Where are the pencils and textbooks? Why are there so many explosives strapped to the balls? And what's up with the barbed wire? Does the school administration really think it's appropriate to wrap the balls in barbed wire?Dodgeball High does not seem like a safe environment for a young man. But his classmates don't care. They kinda remind him of junior Mafia dons little serial killers and pint-sized dictators from third world countries. And they are all really good at dodgeball (and the shedding of their classmates' blood) while Justin totally sucks. And to make matters worse Justin's parents are like...total dicks. They won't let him go to a different school because they think he's full of crap about this dodgeball nonsense. Not to mention that Dodie Manson the greatest player in the school has a gigantic crush on Justin. And whoever Dodie wants Dodie gets and her BFs have a habit of experiencing intense pleasure prior to their mysterious decapitations.Does Justin have what it takes to survive and make it to the top of his class before graduation? Or will he be eliminated permanently?
