Freddy Thresher has a massive problem on his hands. His first grade teacher expects everyone to do an oral report on a cool nocturnal animal, and it feels like all the good animals are already taken. How is Freddy supposed to find the perfect creature to study? When his best friend Robbie suggests they have a sleepover and sneak outside in the middle of the night to do some real life research, it sounds like a brilliant plan. Unfortunately, things do not go exactly as expected. A late night adventure leads to a tumble from a tree, a broken arm, and a very unexpected encounter with the exact animal he needs. Packed with elementary school humor, relatable classroom assignments, and best friend antics, this engaging chapter book is a perfect match for newly independent readers looking for a funny and grounded adventure.
