| Description: |
In his latest adventure, third-grader Robert Dorfman endures a triple-rotten day, complete with a trip to the orthodontist, a new palate expander, and mushed-up baby food. An emergency visit to the veterinarian ensues when he thinks his dog, Huckleberry, has swallowed a missing orthodontic wire. Home again, Robert tries to teach Huck the tricks he's seen on a wonder-dog video. Robert even jumps through the hoop to show Huck how, but the mutt would rather chase imaginary squirrels. Adding to his troubles, Robert has to scheme to get time on the computer, fighting everybody else in the house for cyber-time. How can he write to his email buddy, as part of his school project, if he can't get access to the computer? Robert's usual resourcefulness is taxed to the max in this funny new entry in Barbara Seuling's acclaimed series. The book's upbeat tone keeps readers rooting for Robert through all his trials and tribulations, and Paul Brewer's stylized, quirky cartoon drawings accentuate the humor hidden in Robert's world. |
| Synopsis: |
Third-grader Robert Dorfman is having a triple-rotten day, one that's terrible for him but will be terribly funny for readers. First his brother, Charlie, hogs the bathroom. When Robert gets to school, his best friend, Paul, is absent. And-oh no!-he forgot he has an afternoon appointment with the orthodontist. A new palate expander means Robert eats baby food for dinner, much to Charlie's delight. And if that isn't bad enough, Robert loses a wire and thinks his dog, Huckleberry, has swallowed it. After an emergency trip to the veterinarian's, where Huck has a dog X-ray, Robert searches for his missing wire by emptying the (ugh!) vacuum cleaner bag. He decides it would be cool to teach Huckleberry to be a "wonder dog," like the ones he saw in a video, but Huck has other ideas. Fortunately, Robert's resourcefulness solves all of his problems in a surprising plot twist that earns him the respect of his teacher, family, and friends. |
