Miss America: The Most Beautiful Rat in the World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781685374563)

Tensions rise when Dan's mom joins his Boy Scout Troop as a den mother, because, let's face it, eight-year-old Dan just isn't as excited about it as she is. After all, she already bosses him around at home; now she's going to boss him-and his friends-around there, too?

Though she earns back some coolness points when she takes him to the pet store to adopt a pet for the Troop's "Critter Race," will they ever see eye-to-eye?

Maybe! And it's all thanks to his new pet rat and very best friend, Miss America!
