Crash by Jerry Spinelli

John Coogan's nickname is Crash. That's because one day, Crash used a football helmet and crashed into his cousin as his cousin yelled bloody murder. The only person that calls him John is a kid named Penn Webbs. Penn is the dorkiest, non-violent, vegetarian that happens to be his next-door neighbor. His best buddy, Mike, and him like to pick on Penn. Then one day, Mike steals Penn's pet turtle and forces him to eat meat in the cafeteria or else, he'll kill his turtle. What side will crash take?
