9-year-old Hazy Bloom is back, this time with a plan to show her parents how responsible she is so that she will get a pet iguana. Complicating matters is her 4th grade class's FUNdraiser, a Pet Day, for which she has been elected Team Leader. Her BFSB (best friend since birth) Elizabeth is a lot more organized than Hazy, so she helps her figure out what to do. Unfortunately, Hazy keeps forgetting to do things and gets distracted by trying to do other things (like the laundry at home, with disastrous consequences). While there are a few holes in the story, it mostly hangs together enough for the intended readers. However, it was episodic, padded with lots of examples of Hazy trying to do something without asking for help or permission (or even instructions) and then messing it up. About half-way through, I really didn't care what happened with Pet Day and was completely fed up with Hazy's poor decision-making. Especially when she was rewarded with a trip to the pet store to get an iguana, which makes no sense at all except as a plot device for her to decide to buy supplies for the Pet Day instead.
