Maybelle’s second book of adventures, stars the usual cast of characters plus… Maurice the fly.
When the Peabodys leave to buy goodies for Mrs. Peabody’s Ladies Spring Tea, a Very Irritating fly gets into Number 10 Grand Street and promptly knocks himself insensible trying to get out.
The Peabodys are sure to see him belly-up on the window sill when they get back. And that could set off an Extermination Event.
So Maybelle and Henry hide him under the refrigerator until he revives and can learn The Rules.
But Maurice has a rule of his own--and that means TROUBLE!
