A funny and warm-hearted take on facing your fears.

cute ( )

Penelope has been afraid of Walter the goldfish ever since he tried to eat her (bit her finger when she stuck it in his bowl), but now she has to face her fears: everyone in the class is getting a turn to take Walter home for a weekend. When Walter goes missing on Penelope's watch, she has to find him...and realizes he's not so bad, after all.

Full of the same humor and spirit as the first in the series, and, in my opinion, better than the second (We Will Rock Our Classmates). Works as a standalone, but more enjoyable if you've read the first. ( )
