Quick recap

Twelve-year-old Matt Amsterdam hates his tiny bedroom and his siblings Greg and Pam, who never leave him alone. His mom says no, but one night he sneaks into the guest room to sleep. He wakes up a teenager, at a school that isn't his. Then he has different parents, he's a circus star with a lion act, then a monster. In every version, a girl named Lacie and two men chase him. They're the Reality Police: Matt fell through a hole in reality and changes everything each time he sleeps. Matt escapes, turns into a squirrel, and finally sleeps in his own room again. The twist: his mom turned his room into storage and moved him into the guest room.
