Penina Levine Is a Hard-Boiled Egg

She still hasnt gotten over that Easter Bunny letter said Zozo.So what? said Penina. If my parents want me to go to Peekskill what can Ms. Anderson do? Kidnap me?No said Zozo. She cant kidnap you but she can flunk you.. Penina Levine has a bossy best friend a tattletale sister crazy parents and a big fat zero on her school assignment to write a letter as the Easter Bunny. It was a stupid assignment completely impossible totally unfair. Peninas never going to do it―not ever―and its no use telling her parents about it. They never listen to her anyway. But Peninas grandmother does. Grandma doesnt think Penina should do the assignment. Its a matter of principle. Its a matter of strength. Its a matter of five thousand years of history and a couple dozen hard-boiled eggs.
