Calvin Coconut needs to fix things with Stella—and fast!
Stella from Texas is now officially a member of the Coconut household. As if getting a bossy babysitter isn’t bad enough for Calvin, Stella teases him mercilessly. What’s a nine-year-old boy to do? Calvin decides to “fix” her, and he dumps his neighbor’s cat Zippy on Stella’s bed, knowing she’s allergic. But when Stella breaks out in hives and misses her first big date, Calvin realizes his “zippy fix” went too far. He’s got to make it up to her, and decides to give her a birthday present. But he has no money. Along with the help of his loyal friends and little sister, Darci, Calvin works hard, and comes up with enough cash to give Stella the best birthday gift ever.
Graham Salisbury’s voice perfectly captures the inner workings of Calvin’s mind, and Jacqueline Rogers’ delightful pictures add zest and humor to The Zippy Fix.

Calvin Coconut: The Zippy Fix
1 - Rodents of Hawaii
Manly Stanley the centipede, our class pet, looked out at us from inside a jar on our teacher Mr. Purdy's desk. He was frowning and pounding fifty of his one hundred legs on the glass. I knew what he was thinking: why were we _drawing pictures of things that would love to eat him?
Hey! he seemed to shout. What's going on out there? Let me see!
Julio, Rubin, Willy, and I were crowded around my desk working on a science poster. Our project was called Rodents of Hawaii.
We'd drawn pictures of a mouse, a rat, a guinea pig, and a gerbil. We wanted to put a hamster and a mongoose in there, too, but Mr. Purdy said hamsters were illegal in the islands. They could bring in diseases. And a mongoose is a carnivore, not a rodent.
We were stumped.
Manly Stanley raced up onto his rock and stretched his neck for a better look. "Hey, Manly," I said. "
You know of any more rodents we can draw?"
Julio snorted. "He should. Rodents love centipedes."
Manly Stanley cringed and scurried down into the shadows.
"Look, Julio. You scared him."
"Pfff."
I tapped on the glass. "Don't worry, Manly, I'll protect you."
"Come on, guys," Rubin said. "We're wasting time."
I poked my chin with my black Sharpie. "Are moles rodents?"
"Yeah, moles!" Julio said.
"You got moles here?" Willy asked. He was from California and knew lots of stuff we didn't. "I haven't seen any."
"I got a mole in my armpit," Rubin said. "Want to see it?"
Willy laughed.Me and Julio looked at Rubin like, ...
