Finley can''t wait for the class field trip to the art museum--she figures it''ll be a snap. But the more art she sees, the more mixed-up she gets.

Every year the fourth grade has to do a plan and complete a service project for the school and community, and after a particularly unappetizing school lunch Finley suggests that they should plant a vegetable garden--but when the radishes she and her friends Henry and Olivia plant take too long to sprout she gets very frustrated.

Finley is heading to Camp Acorn, and she''s determined to prove to everyone that she''s tough enough to get back to nature.

Illustrations and simple, rhyming text invite the reader to join in a day of pet care.

In an effort to convince her parents that she is responsible enough to have a pet of her own, Finley takes a job pet-sitting her neighbor''s cat--however the cat turns out to be a hostile handful and Finley''s siblings are not proving to be much help in what could turn out to be a complete disaster.

Finley and her best friend, Henry, have to come up with an original recipe for their school''s crazy cook-off.

Halloween is coming and Finley and her friend Henry are busy planning their costumes for the school parade--but when they get to school they discover that their costumes are missing and they have to think fast to manufacture substitutes, preferably ones that will not dissolve when it starts to rain.

When Finley decides that fashion is just wearable art, she sets out to create a new fad with her friend Henry: a forklet, a bracelet you can both wear and eat with and only one dollar each for her classmates--unfortunately her parents do not appreciate the disappearing silverware, and Finley has to rethink her invention.

Finley can''t wait to start the inventors project at school -- after all, thinking up new ideas is her thing. But when the prototype of her Supersonic Sibling Sublimator fails and her older brother plays a joke on her, Finley discovers that everyone could stand to lighten up a bit. Starting over, she creates a hilarious device guaranteed to make people laugh more and live longer. But will her entertaining invention work on the super-serious invention judges?
