Plot summary

The novel focuses on Wilson Tagbo, a boy who got admission into secondary school. Starting from his first day, Wilson jumped from one trouble to another. One of Tagbo's escapades in his secondary school includes how he was sniffing around the Chemistry laboratory in his school, and inhaled nitrous oxide, which is commonly known as laughing gas, and subsequently passed out. And just like the title suggests, no week passes by without Tagbo getting in trouble until he finally joined the school cultists in his class 5, where he was finally arrested.
