The Big Kid Daycare
"I thought I was the one in charge. Boy, was I wrong."
Thirteen-year-old Patrick is ready to leave his "kid years" behind. This summer, he's got a plan: work at Sunshine Tots Daycare, earn some serious cash, and finally prove he's a responsible teenager. He's even got the support of Ms. Penny, the head teacher, who is as kind as she is organized. She wants Patrick to succeed, but she has one golden rule: everyone follows the daycare's safety and wellness standards.
Patrick thinks he can handle a few toddlers, but between a mountain of juice boxes and a busy schedule, he's quickly overwhelmed. When a messy accident in Chapter 3 turns his world upside down, Ms. Penny decides to do what's "right" for his situation.
Now, Patrick finds himself trading his "Staff" badge for a diaper and a spot on the nap-mat. At Sunshine Tots, if you can't stay dry, you can't be staff. Can Patrick survive the summer being treated like a toddler, or will his dignity be gone before school starts?
