In book, the gang hacks into the school system to send emails to Weekday Warriors' parents about them failing their classes, using fireworks as a diversion. This contrasts with what happens in the series, where they hack into the rich kids' college apps and write essays about . . . sh*tting. The show definitely ramps up the stakes, though. In it, parents threaten to sue the school, causing the Eagle to almost expel the Colonel. Amidst first loves and first real friends, the Colonel experiences his first time getting in trouble.
