This book is science fiction. It is about a group of second graders in Mrs. Zookey's class named Patrick, Ben, Richard, Dawn Marie, and Linda. Ben and Richard are good friends who think that Patrick is a troublemaker. He leads them to believe that the bat they find in the grass is after them and will turn them into vampires. Patrick causes more trouble when he breaks a pot holding Jack's Beanstalk with his squirt gun during Yummies and Yuckies. Dawn Marie becomes Patrick's friend, though and they end up doing their Endangered Species project together about bats. Dawn Marie has bats in her shed, which she shows to her friends. Linda doesn't like bats. Patrick and Dawn Marie have brought a bat house that Dawn Marie's father helped them make that they plan on hanging in Dawn Marie's yard. I would ask the students to act out one of the situations or conversations in the book with a few of their classmates.
