Crash Casanova is a 12-year-old boy with one thing on his mind: winning the title of Mister Charm at school—just like his father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather, and so on, for centuries and centuries. It’s in his blood: always be the best, always be liked, and above all… have fun!

There’s just one problem. Nobody pays Crash the slightest attention! He always says the wrong thing at the worst possible moment and, not to be overlooked, he’s a bit on the ugly side, washes very little, and therefore gives off an absolutely terrible smell. He also has the bizarre habit of always carrying around an old sock he calls Kal.

Things aren’t any better at school—quite the opposite! Luckily, he has a friend, Zang, who’s even more unlucky than he is: a nerdy, ultra-studious Asian boy completely uninterested in appearances. And yet, it’s precisely thanks to Zang’s cryptic comments that Crash gets the flashes of inspiration he needs to solve his problems.
