This summer is different, though: he's battling to become the Cypher King, leader of the lunchroom's impromptu rap circles. Here, the rhythm flows and the words fly, creating a space where the wittiest and most rhythmically inclined reign supreme. Here, Pernell's ADHD gives him an edge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut life outside the cypher isn't as forgiving. Pernell's English teacher has it out for him.
