Wodney, a shy rodent with a speech impediment, must confront the school bully, Camilla Capybara, once more. Armed with a talking robot that helps him pronounce his r’s, Wodney discovers unexpected courage. As tensions rise, will this clever gadget be enough to outsmart the intimidating Camilla? In this humorous tale, brains might just triumph over brawn, proving that even the smallest hero can stand tall. Join Wodney on his journey to find his voice and see if he can finally turn the tables on his fearsome foe.

"'HOWDY, PARDNERS! I'M BAAAAACK,' thundered Camilla Capybara as she burst into the classroom. Teeth rattled, whiskers twitched and eyes stared in disbelief. Everyone thought Camilla had gone west. Forever."

“Wodney Wat can't pronounce his r's. When he gets a special "wobot" for a gift he realizes he can use his robot to say his r's for him. This turns out to be quite useful to scare a bully away from his classroom.”
