Fourth-grade artist Channing O'Banning returns in her third adventure, where she is determined to get the pencil set of her dreams. But when she finds that it's way out of her price range, she and her sidekicks come up with a wild and zany idea. And just when things start to go her way, something horrible happens—her tickled pink pencil gets stolen right out of her ponytail! What will she do now? Certain to make the wish list for both students and teachers, Channing's stories make kids laugh out loud as they associate with the feisty, thoughtful, and introspective main character. Meanwhile, parents are tickled pink at the educational content featured throughout.
