Alexia hates bunnies. Well, not really, but Alexia doesn't like Andrea and Andrea does like bunnies. You get the idea.
Their teacher Mr. Cooper is having the kids vote on what kind of animal they would like to have as class pet. Alexia and most of the boys are rooting for a snake. Andrea and her BFF Emily are hoping for a bunny. The snake wins and Alexia is thrilled.
The class gets an eastern hognose snake and Alexia gets to be the first to feed him a toad.
With responsibility comes pressure and the potential for a mistake..maybe even a big mistake. When you hold something's life in your hands, you've got to keep your eye on the ball...or at least on the snake.
Spot on depiction of how girls can not get along with each other and hilarious story about classroom snakes and the danger they bring.
