Malik is a character in the book -- but he's a friend who consistently calls the main character on poor behavior. The main character, Ethan, is thrown when the soccer coach he was expecting is replaced by his dreaded science teacher, Ms. Brezinki. Ethan reacts badly to the change, and the book focuses on his need for an attitude adjustment.
Decent story, but requires sitting with a character who can't help himself from being a jerk. Uncomfortable, and more of a teaching tale than a plot-driven story. Think after-school special about social emotional learning.
