Summary: In this episode, Greg is thinking about what the meeting would be like at the School Committee meeting during music class. He was very excited about him and Maura talking in front of adults and probably arguing with them, too. But Greg also had this one worry: What if every adult also thought that he was just a useless little boy and a little money-grubber.
Summary: In this episode, Mr. Z is teaching math class when Mrs. Davenport walks in. She wants to talk with Mr. Z. She says that Greg and Maura want to sell their comic books at school and that Mr. Z was going to help a little. Mrs. Davenport says that she said to not sell comic books at school. But Mr. Z said that the school was also selling books at school. So Mrs. Davenport said that she might make kids allowed to sell comic books at school and walked away.
Summary: In this chapter, Maura and Greg go to see Mr. Z in his classroom at exactly 7:30 AM to talk about the comics. Maura and Greg were arguing about who should talk first when Mr. Z whacked his hand on his desk. Then, they started talking about it. I don’t know what they were saying but Maura was writing down notes in her notebook and everybody thought that this was a pretty good idea and Greg would get a little money.
Summary: In this chapter, Maura shows Greg the flyer and then they went to Mr. Z to tell him about those. They say that the school is selling books to make money so they ask why they can’t sell their comic books to make some money. Mr. Z suggested that they could go to the principal meeting, a meeting where the principals of every school come to have a meeting about something, and ask Mrs. Davenport. But then, Greg and Maura said that they would talk to Mr. Z at 7:30 AM tomorrow before school started and they rushed out.
Summary: In this episode, Bluey and Bingo climb up Mount Mumandad, which was Mum and Dad sleeping, in a race. Bingo gets all the hiking stuff that they needed. Then, Dad makes a storm happen and they have to stay in Bingo’s tent. Then, when the storm stopped, they went up, still racing. Mum then said that you should never race with someone. You should always work with teamwork.
Favorite Part: My favorite part is when Bluey and Bingo worked together to stick the flag on the top (Dad’s head) so hard that Dad woke up with a yelp and said “Oww!!!”
The Lesson: I think the lesson of this episode is to always find ways to use teamwork with people.
My Rating: I give this episode a 4 out of 5 stars. It is one of my favorites.
Summary: In this chapter, Maura was thinking of how she could sell her comic books until she read the announcement sheet that Mrs. Davenport had passed out. One line said “Our town School Committee has strict policy about what may and may not be sold at school” and Maura thought about the things that they allowed to sell and not sell. Then, she walked around the school and saw people, machines, and different things trying to sell some things. There was pizza trying to be sold, candy trying to be sold, coke and sports drinks, and frosty cans of juice. This got Maura thinking. She wondered whether or not she could sell her comics.
Summary: In this chapter, Maura comes over to Greg’s house to show him the pages that she did. Then, they went downstairs to the playroom and they did some more working. They completed five comics. But some of the comics were bad after they finished them. Some of them had crooked staples, some of them had inking that were too dark, and some of them had bad folding and bad trimming.
Summary: In this chapter, Greg is watching Indiana Jones with a bowl of popcorn, a bottle of root beer, and his mom and dad when Maura rang the doorbell. Greg’s mom opened it and Maura came in to show Greg her first pictures of The Lost Unicorn as a comic. Greg had to admit that it was a pretty good. Then, Greg and Maura did some more artworks in the playroom until Maura had to leave. She said she’d bring some more tommorrow.
Summary: In this chapter, Greg tells Maura that her drawings were great and how she could make The Lost Unicorn into a real comic book at the dessert table line. Maura wanted to get 75% of the profits that they would get so Greg told her that she had to buy an ice-cream sandwich for both of them.
Summary: In this chapter, Greg, Maura, and Mr. Z had to see the principal in the principal’s office. Mrs. Davenport, the principal, said that she was very mad about selling comic books a school and fighting at school. She said that she did not want anybody selling anything. So, Greg decided to try to sell things some other way and some other time. Just 14 more units and he will reach his goal: Selling 100 units.
