Join Mitzi as she navigates her way through each new challenge to save the school from disaster, using resourcefulness, determination, humor, and her cane, Tappity. This book is the second in a series by Liz Cooper featuring resilient young characters dealing with unique challenges. Although the main character in this story is blind, the story does not focus on the disability itself, but rather a humorous situation that the students at Mortimer Potts Elementary School find themselves in, and how they decide to deal with it. Many of the Mortimer Potts Elementary students were introduced in Bluebell Skinks Wheelchair Kid (2019) however, the book can stand alone as a satisfying reading experience.
