Bookroo's summary
RJ faces a tough day when he's paired with bossy Bernice, messy Frankie, and nose-picking Norma for a school project on Egyptian mummies. Frustrated, he returns home to find just one cookie, which he must share with his sister. Guided by his coach, RJ discovers that teamwork and sharing are essential skills, not only on the soccer field but also in school and at home. Can RJ turn his bad day around by embracing these lessons?
