Just like any kid, ten-year old Jack wants to go to school and play with others his own age. But Jack is no ordinary kid. A rare medical condition has caused Jack to age at four times the normal rate, making him a child in a man's body! On Jack's first day at school, he fits neither into the desk nor in with his classmates... who at first consider him more of a freak than a friend. It's not until Jack's awkward encounter with girls and his calamitous treehouse sleepover that 5th grade becomes the adventure of his life.
I'm Mr. Magee. I've heard so much about you, Jack.
Hello, Mr. Magoo!
Magee.
Oh. Magee.
Yes.
Magoo...
Jack, how would you like to see your classroom? Yes?
Yes.
A little louder.
Yes.
A little louder, Jack.
YES!!!!!!
Follow me.
Is he deaf?
No, that's not gonna be good enough: "Sorry".
Well, I said I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Yeez, what is it with you? What? Are you totally hyper or something? Too much sugar?
Rubber, glue, sticks to you! Got him!
I'm a loser, but you're a son of a bitch!
I can't believe you said that! You cussed! Oh, you said the b-word! Oh, you're gonna get in so much trouble! You really are!
I just want to be a regular star.
Jack, you'll never be regular. You're spectacular.
He's a healthy ten year old who's growing four times faster than normal. Now he's ready for the biggest adventure of his life...
5th grade.

There is an actual illness, known as Werner Syndrome, where children age faster than normal--though not anywhere near as fast as Jack does.
