Mr. Claxton took a deep breath. "Yes, Jamie?"
   Jamie was so excited, he jumped to his feet. He kept jumping. "I think we should get—"
   "A shark?" Kamal asked.
   Jamie's eyes widened. "How did you know?"
   "Because that's all you ever talk about. Sharks this. Sharks that," said Kamal. "Don't you think about anything else?"
   Jamie shrugged. "I don't want our class to get just any shark," he said. "I think we should get a great white shark."

Jamie loves sharks. He reads about them. He talks about them. Sometimes he even pretends to be a shark. Too bad no one else wants to join his Shark Club. His peers and parents are quickly growing tired of his current obsession.

When Jamie's teacher, Mr. Claxton, brings in a new class pet, Jamie is put in charge. But Jamie has an accident while feeding it, and everyone becomes upset with him. He needs to find a way to make things right. In the end, he comes up with a solution that pleases both his teacher and classmates, a solution that also gives Jamie an opportunity to share his newest obsession—lizards.
