As the class chorus sings "My Country Tis of Thee," our main hero loses his breakfast. Will concealing the mess with a Tuba be enough or will the "Crazy Barfing Kid" now need to skip school forever? The readers will be surprised when they see who the class actually wants to thank. This book, the first of a multi-volume series, uses humor to show kids how to avoid feeling shame and humiliation for natural acts that happen to all of us some time or another. The self-confidence gained is a natural defense against verbal bullying.
