An absolutely adorable little book. It really resonated with me as the author grew up in the same part of CT as me. And the Ranger Andy incident?? It happened. I saw it!
Felix Funicello (Annette Funicello's distant cousin) is 10 years old and attending St. Aloysius Gonzaga Parochial School in Connecticut. He resembles Dondi, the cartoon character. He is rather small for his age, but is smart, usually the second ranked in his class.
Felix is a little naïve about life. His friend Lonny usually gives him some insight into life, but Felix doesn't really understand too much of the life information that Lonny provides.
Felix is in constant competition with Rosalie Twerski for best in class (grade-wise). Rosalie is always bringing in posters and trying to be the best at everything.
The rest of the novel focuses on new teachers, new students that bring some variety to the school and the Christmas pageant that takes much planning.
