CRICKET KAUFMAN was her third grade teacher's favorite student. She always knew the right answers and she was picked to go on the most important errands for her teacher. She is now in the fourth grade and she knew that it would just be a few days before she became the favorite of her new teacher. She soon realizes that MRS. SCHRAALENBURGH doesn't have favorites and does not like tattle tales.
