Description: "Dennis' life is boring and lonely. His mother left two years ago, his truck driver father is depressed, his brother is a bully and, worst of all, "no hugging" is one of their household rules. But one thing Dennis does have is soccer---he's the leading scorer on his team. Oh, and did we mention his secret passion for fashion?"--Jacket.

Dennis, who has a lonely home life but leads the soccer team at school in scoring, is convinced by his friend Lisa to embrace his inner fashion sense and wear a dress to school, but when he does, he endangers his chances of playing in the Final Cup.
