Bookroo's summary

Richard's skate park dreams are at risk when a note from his teacher threatens to expose his unfinished assignment. Desperate to attend the party, he must navigate the tricky waters of deception. Will he manage to delay the inevitable, or will his plan backfire, making things worse? Join Richard in this humorous tale of school challenges and the quest for fun.

From the publisher

Richard can’t wait to show off his flat-ground Ollies at a friend’s birthday party at the skate park, but a note home from his teacher threatens to ruin his plans. He really meant to finish his assignment on howler monkeys, but he just got . . . distracted. If only he could focus on his schoolwork, he wouldn’t get into this kind of trouble! Can Richard manage to put off getting the note signed (and facing the consequences) until after the party, or will the deception make things even worse? Nikki and Deja fans and their male peers are sure to recognize themselves and their classmates in this humorous school story.
