North is eleven and does well at schoolwork, sports and drama, and adults praise his obedience. His parents pay him little attention, and the neglect begins to affect how he performs at the things he does. He decides they are undeserving of him. At a shopping center, a man in a pink bunny costume tells him to explain his feelings to them instead. His best friend Winchell, who writes for the school paper, helps him hire Arthur Belt, a lawyer, to file the divorce papers. The announcement shocks his parents.
