Frederick Sellers is a quiet, withdrawn, intelligent and rather misunderstood 5th grader. He attends a suburban public school of little significance. Frederick has a broad imagination and bores easily. He soon develops delusions of grandeur as he begins reading his fathers exhaustive research notes on Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini for his doctoral dissertation. Frederick doesn't quite grasp the cruel and oppressive regime ruled Italy in the 30's but he sure does like Mussolini's outfits and shiny medals. Frederick soon plots to overthrow the school. He soon gains followers with flowery Mussolini-esque speeches written in the voice of a precocious 5th grader. His homemade uniforms and a name change to Il Federico doesn't hurt either.
Working on it.
