About the Book

This story begins in a young boy's bedroom. When the young boy goes to school, the critters in his house hitch a ride with him in his backpack and attend their own school in the janitor's closet of the young boy's school. The school is similar to the elementary school, but the school is made of books and desks made of erasers. One young critter named Velicity decides to skip school numerous times believing she is outsmarting the principal with false excuse notes. However, the principal is fast on her trail. He knows that Velicity is going to the mall during school hours and then going home. The principal follows her to the mall and confronts her. The principal assigns various punishments to Velicity and during punishment, she changes her attitude and decides to rejoin her classmates.
