Bookroo's summary

Siblings known as the Pain and the Great One rarely see eye to eye, but school brings them together. Whether it's a lost tooth on the bus, a pet day gone awry, or a bully's taunt, they learn the value of teamwork. With Fluzzy the cat's wisdom, they navigate these hurdles, discovering that sometimes, two heads are better than one. Can they overcome their differences to tackle schoolyard dilemmas? Join their adventures and find out how they handle the unexpected twists of school life.

From the publisher

_The perfect chapter book!

The Pain and the Great One hardly agree on anything. But deep down, they know they can count on each other, especially at school, where it often takes two to figure things out. Like when that first baby tooth falls out on the school bus. Or when an unwanted visitor on Bring Your Pet to School Day needs to be caught. Or worst of all, when a scary bully says you’re _burnt toast. On days like these it can feel good not to go it alone. (And don’t forget Fluzzy the cat, who knows a thing or two himself.)
