Oh, no! Taylor's sick in bed with a cold or the flu! He can't possibly go to school today! Or is he just fibbing and trying to play hooky?

Book Excerpt

I'm not really sick.
I'm just being slick.
It gives me a kick

I wish it could last!
Skipped school today!
Hip-hip-hooray!
No work to do!
Fun and games! Yay! Yahoo!
