Calliope Day meets her match in Noreen Catherwood, a.k.a. Miss Prissy Toes, the only fourth grader who wears lacy socks and dress shoes to recess. Much to her surprise, Calliope finds herself drawn to Noreen, and the two become fast friends---until Calliope kidnaps Noreen's pet parrot. Realistic situations and Calliope's no-holds-barred approach to life make for entertaining reading. Black-and-white cartoon illustrations capture her escapades.
