The bestselling Bat returns! Bat and the Business of Ferrets is the fourth title in National Book Award finalist Elana K. Arnold´s heartfelt and widely acclaimed series featuring an unforgettable young boy on the autism spectrum.
Bixby Alexander Tam (nicknamed "Bat") is about to start fourth grade--and unfortunately for him, everything is changing: There´s a new teacher, a new classroom, new seats...and new rules. Mr. Grayson, Bat´s third grade teacher, had a lovable class rabbit named Babycakes who Bat could visit anytime he needed a break. But Mr. Peña does not have a class rabbit. In fact, Mr. Peña doesn´t believe in class pets at all. And for Bat, that´s one change too many.
Bat and his best friend, Israel, know they need to convince Mr. Peña to change his mind about class pets--and when a business of friendly ferrets arrives at Bat´s mom´s veterinary clinic, they think they´ve found the perfect pet to do so. But when they discover that their classmate Lucca also doesn´t like the idea of an animal in the classroom, Bat starts to worry that things will never be the way they were again.
The beloved series that began with A Boy Called Bat continues with this fourth book featuring an unforgettable young boy on the autism spectrum.
