Calbert who is fond of playing a cowboy with his buddy Roland during the
weekends but is afraid to go to school during weekdays because he
always must find a way to face down Ernie, the certified school bully.
Ernie makes life unbearable for Calbert in many ways, but he especially
enjoys picking on him for being an adopted child. He always makes fun of
Calbert for being adopted and says that neither Calbert’s birth mom nor
his adoptive mom wanted him and his brothers. Calbert wonders why he
is Ernie’s favorite victim at school. He learns from Roland, his trusted
friend that Ernie’s dad died a couple of years ago, and Chuck, his step
dad doesn’t really like him mostly because Ernie looks like his real
dad, and he has the same name as him. It makes Chuck jealous of Ernie’s
dad. Sometimes he gets really mad at Ernie for no reason. He doesn’t
have any true friends except for Munch, his pet dog. But, when Calbert
and Ernie found themselves trapped together in a fire at the school
building during a dress rehearsal for a school program, they must find a
way to work together to escape with their lives. Will Calbert and
Ernie be able to put aside their differences, in order to survive? Or
will they end up being burn to ashes?
Lawn-Mower Chronicles is a humorous look at lawn care.
Mowing the lawn sounds easy enough. Those of us with large lawns to mow
know better. How we long for the chance to climb up on our mower and
mow worry free. Free to finish with all belts still attached. Free to
finish with all the blades in tack. And free to finish with all four
tires still on the lawn tractor. What about two consecutive times
mowing, without any mishaps? Is it even possible? Some of us can only
dream.
