They're
back. Those wonderful kids from Peshtigo School who we first met
in Ninjas, Piranhas and Galileo. This time we meet militant
vegan Frederika Murchison-Kowalski who has just been kicked out of another
school. It has to do with setting the football field on fire but
I won't go into that just yet. So her short-lived stint in Texas
ends and she is sent back to Chicago and Pestigo. Her cousin, Hans-Peter,
is applying to the school and really wants to make a good impression on
the selection committee. His life at home has become more complicated
now that Freddie has moved in but he really hopes that she can help him
get into the school. I won't tell you too much about what goes on
but let me just say it involves a life-size papier-mache tyrannosaurus
rex head, some bull frogs and some sushi kielbasa! |
