With a friend like Patrick, who needs enemies? Patrick is a showoff and a
prankster, and Richard is his usual target. Resolved not to let Patrick
get him in trouble, Richard is sucked in by The Mosquito, a way to eat
red Jell-O through a straw, and of course trouble ensues. Complications
arise when the new girl from France thinks the boys are seriously
injured, and miscommunication is all too easy when idioms in English and
in French are taken literally. The shifting alliances, interests, and
concerns of second-graders are authentically and humorously depicted in
this easy-to-read school story.
