Serving at a Presidential Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel for a summer job. No contest. It was an opportunity of a lifetime and Matthew Calamori was going to take it! He just had to get his pal Tom to go along.

But as a boy gifted with the ability to hear the real thoughts behind the spoken words, Matthew finds out there was more to his job than he had anticipated. His gifts turn out to be exactly what is needed...as he overhears a plot that could rattle the nation in one blow.

It is up to the ghoulies of Gulinger High to stop things before they go too far.
