In ten chapters, ten different kids tell a story, with one of them picking up where the last one left off.  The story itself concerns a small town that is holding a vote to decide whether to change its name, but there are plenty of subplots about who likes who and a boy coming out of the closet.  The plot, however, is not really the point -- the fun lies mostly in seeing how different perspectives make a story very different.
Of course, stories told from different points of view have been done many times before.  It's a clever device, but since the story itself is not terribly overwealming, this isn't going to captivate you a lot.  Moreover, it's a bit distracting to just start getting into a character and then suddenly have their turn be over.
