Jacob Two-Two

Jacob is fed up with sharing his room with his brother, Noah. He decides to try a living space --- the attic of his home. He finds it too scary though and thanks to his siblings' taunts, worries about being pursued by a wrestler that goes after children. He learns that he has to face his fears head-on in order to overcome them.

It's his first day at a brand new school, and Jacob wants to look cool, so he borrows his brother Daniel's favorite skull T-shirt to wear. What he doesn't realize is that skull shirts are against the school rules, and before he knows what's happening, Principal Greedyguts has confiscated the shirt and locked it away in the school vault. Jacob's got to get that shirt back! Aided by an odd kid named Buford and a daredevil skateboarder named Renee, Jacob dares to enter the forbidden Staff Room of Doom! Together, they face Greedyguts' Indiana Jones-style booby traps, and they make a daring escape. Jacob gets the T-shirt back, and he makes two new best friends in the process!

When Jacob receives a Gummer Gormley form dad he decides this is just the lucky charm that his hapless hockey team needs to end its record-breaking losing streak. With the card in hand, all goes well, and the team is finally winning some games... until perfectly loathsome Leo Louse steals the card from Jacob's locker. Jake and Buford visit the aged Gummer Gormley to ask for another card, but he turns them down, reminding them that skill wins games, not luck. Back at the arena, Jacob pulls himself together, and he leads the team to a win, proving the old hockey legend's words to be true.

In a cost-cutting move, Principal Greedyguts has replaced the school lunch lady with janitor Leo Louse. Faced with dishwater lemonade, sawdust soup and other revolting concoctions, Jacob decides that something must be done. With the help of Buford and his new next-door neighbor Mr. Dinglebat (an international spy), Jacob discovers Leo's secret dungeon kitchen, and he reveals the truth about the lunches to their parents. Greedyguts is forced to rehire Bella Bountiful, lunch lady extraordinaire, and Leo Louse is sent back to his lowly janitor's closet.

A new newspaper becomes an overnight success in Montreal, but Jacob is suspicious. The paper is poorly written gibberish, and yet all the grownups in town subscribing to it and are spending all their money on the useless products advertised in it. Jacob and Buford become paperboys to infiltrate the Daily Crown headquarters, coming face to face with its eccentric founder, Carl Fester King. Learning that the paper's ink does indeed contain a brainwashing chemical, Jacob uses King's own newspaper to reveal his con-game to the entire city.

Jacob becomes obsessed with solving the real-life mystery in his Malty McGuffin book; the mystery is supposed to lead to a real secret treasure. The only problem is that he is being followed by library ninjas intent on getting the book back. Jacob, Buford and Renee use their combined brainpower to decode the clues, solve the riddles, and find the location of the secret treasure... only to be scooped at the last minute by I.M. Greedyguts! Will the library ninjas turn the tables on their principal? Will Jacob return his library book on time?
