Spooner - Paperback

by Nancy Kelly Allen (Author), Debbie Roppolo (Illustrator)

Tony Spooner has inherited the family trait of
twisting words-just like his long-ago cousin,
William Spooner. But for Tony, spoonerisms
aren't an honor. They're a nightmare.

When he tries to say "My tough luck," out comes
"My lough tuck." And the more nervous or
upset he gets, the more his words flip, warp,
and betray him.

Tony wants to win a trophy-any trophy-but
every time he gets close, a bully steps in, and
Tony's tongue tangles the moment into disaster.

Until the day the bully pushes him too far... and
Tony's twisted words unleash chaos-and a clever
way to turn the tables.

Maybe his "curse" has a little power after all.
