分章摘要 · 12 章
Ch.1 The Weirdest Thing in the History of the World:周一早上,Miss Daisy发下拍照日通知单。随后图书馆、美术、音乐、电脑课的老师都在谈论同一本童书《The Fearless Falcon》及其作者Miss Suki Kabuki。校长Mr. Klutz宣布这位著名作家三周后将来访学校。
Ch.2 Children's Books Are Dumb:孩子们得知Miss Suki即将来访。Andrea自称早知道此事,因为她妈妈是PTA副主席。Miss Suki从日本远道而来,凭《The Fearless Falcon》获得Blueberry Award,住在雨林里写动物故事。A.J.觉得童书很无聊。
Ch.3 I Hate Andrea and She Hates Me:Andrea和Emily为拍照日反复打扮,A.J.吐槽她们。校长广播说拍照日与作家日到同一天,可谓‘一石二鸟’。Miss Daisy带回Miss Suki的来信,信中说会带一个‘大惊喜’来。
Ch.4 Here Comes the Big-Shot Author:全校用两周倒计时准备作家日:科学课学游隼、美术课做欢迎牌和红地毯、各班做书中场景。Mr. Klutz还邀请了教育委员会主席Dr. Carbles。午餐吃了照烧鸡,孩子们猜测Miss Suki会怎么出场。
Ch.5 Miss Suki Finally Arrives:作家日当天,Miss Suki拉着带神秘箱子的推车到校,却被红地毯绊倒。集会前Mrs. Roopy展示Blueberry Award奖牌。孩子们排队等候集会,A.J.被迫坐在Andrea和Emily中间。
Ch.6 Miss Suki Is a Big Crybaby:Miss Suki刚上台就因消防演练铃声尖叫着跑出去,误以为着火。回到台上她讲述自己爱动物、在日本长大的经历,朗读《The Fearless Falcon》时感动落泪,并准备打开神秘箱子。
Ch.7 Rappy the Raptor Is Cool:箱子里是真正的游隼Rappy,它是《The Fearless Falcon》的灵感来源。Miss Suki说她在楼外发现撞玻璃受伤的Rappy并收养了它。孩子们讨论‘endangered’与‘extinct’,A.J.把extinct胡说成‘很臭’。
Ch.8 Dumb Questions:集会提问环节,孩子们问了一大堆不是问题的‘问题’和最私人的问题(最爱颜色、收入、年龄)。Miss Suki被问到年龄时生气地说自己四十岁,显然不喜欢这些问题。
Ch.9 What's the Magic Word?:回到教室,老师分发签名书,A.J.没买书。孩子们反复说‘please’,成功说服Miss Suki加入班级合影。A.J.感慨只要不停地‘请’就能得到大人的答应。
Ch.10 Say Cheese!:去体育馆拍照前,Andrea指出《The Reluctant Rhino》里犀牛吃鱼的错误(犀牛是素食动物),Miss Suki为此又哭了。拍照时Rappy也被请进合影,举镜的Emily成为隐患。
Ch.11 Just a Minor Problem:Rappy看到Emily镜中的倒影,以每小时两百英里扑向她,Emily从看台摔下。Rappy在体育馆乱飞,Miss Lazar、Mr. Klutz、Miss Small和Dr. Carbles先后赶来应对这场混乱。
Ch.12 Author Visits Are Fun!:Mr. Klutz用捕手手套加镜子想诱捕Rappy,镜子却摔碎;Rappy最终撞上Mr. Klutz举起的Blueberry Award,奖牌断成两半。Miss Suki抱着‘死’Rappy哭着跑走。A.J.总结:千万别把游隼或Blueberry Award带去学校。
