At an early age Alton fell in love with maps. Now as an observant sixth grader he makes maps of everything-even people's brains! In an attempt to impress a "popular" classmate, Quint, he shows him his folder of secret maps. Then the maps go missing and Alton to fearful that his maps will hurt classmates and even teacher's and principal's feelings.
