Cory is turning seven, and his best friend convinces him to "investigate" the birthday present his mother has hidden away. But when they open it and it doesn't work they're afraid they've broken it!

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-4-- Cory invites his entire second grade class, including the class bully, to the skating rink for his seventh birthday celebration. The party takes a turn for the worse when Delphinius starts skating wildly around the rink, knocking people down, and then blaming his host. Cory retaliates with a game of crack the whip that ends with the bully in tears. Delphinius admits that he has known all year about Cory's secret nickname for him and has tormented him because of it. Cory apologizes and suggests to his teacher the idea of "reading buddies" so that he can help Del catch up with the rest of the class. The situation presented will be familiar to most children and the easy resolution, although predictable, is a believable one. This school story, illustrated with full-page soft pencil drawings, will appeal to children looking for longer chapter books. --Laura Culberg, Chicago Public Library Cultural Center
