Running into the school to escape a hungry owl was easy. But with the door locked and an angry dog chasing him, how will Twitch the squirrel get back out?

He'll need a hand, of course. . . . and maybe a paw, a fin, and a wing, too. Can the classroom pets--including Sweetie the library rat, a snake named Angel, and the first graders' Green Eggs and Hamster--help Twitch get back to his cozy home in the trees?

Each chapter is told in the voice of a different animal as the squirrel works his way through the school, visiting each classroom and trying to stay one step ahead of the principal's menacing dog, Cuddles. The different perspectives make this a perfect introduction to narrative point-of-view--and an extra-funny read-aloud.

Lively black and white illustrations add to the humor, depicting Twitch's mad dash through the school and the chaos created by a band of class pets on the loose. With short, funny chapters, young readers will race through this novel to find out what the pets do next.

For more of Twitch's adventures, check out Squirrel in the House and Squirrel in the Museum.
