"For as long as Oscar Winkle can remember, his younger brother Robert has been a creep. But not just your normal, everyday kind of creep. Robert is a real chump whose reign of terror has included bringing Oscar's underwear to school for 'Show and Tell' and dumping a whole box of spiders on Oscar's bedroom floor. A guy can only take so much humiliation. Woul dyou put up with a jerky little brother like 'Robert the Slobert'? Would you sit back and let someone drive you nuts for seven and a half years? Oscar has decided he won't. He's had enough, and now he's got a plan to get rid of the creep for an entire summer. He calls it Operation: Dump the Chump. It has eight simple steps, and once Oscar's completed them one by one, it'll be good-bye Robert"--Back cover.
