Fred's emotions have gone to the dogs! Fred's teacher and Luisa might be excited about their research trip to the library, but Fred is not. In fact, the whole project; and his continued failures at it are making him angry! That is, until he realizes he has the perfect solution to his problem: Simply write one of his "What If" poems, tap into the power of pretend, turn into Frankinchool, and voila! Project, cancelled. Trouble is, the poem doesn't work, which makes Fred even fussier; especially when speaking to his friends Luisa and Drake. But while on a quest to find Luisa and apologize, books fly off the library shelves, students nod off at their desk, Drake grows head-snakes, and once again, Fred becomes Frankinschool. But this time, they have no idea how or why.
