About This Book

Bat is gearing up for fourth grade, but the new teacher and fresh classroom rules feel overwhelming, especially without the comforting class pet he’s used to. When ferrets arrive at his mom’s veterinary clinic, Bat and his best friend Israel hatch a plan to bring a furry friend to class, hoping to win over their skeptical teacher and classmates. Navigating change, friendship, and acceptance, Bat learns that sometimes new beginnings can lead to unexpected adventures.
