Richard Best, a second-grader, wants to win Miss Rooney's contest: he has to guess how many candy corn are in the jar to take them home. Since each attempt requires reading a page from the library, Richard grows impatient and tries three sweets; the big question is what the teacher will do when she finds out.

For children aged 6 and up, especially readers who enjoy school-set stories.
