After spending a happy summer with his new beagle, Lucy, Bobby is not looking forward to the start of school. He wonders if third grade will be a better year, or will he continue to feel shy and out of place? To his relief, he's put in the same class as his two new friends. Bobby discovers that even giving an oral report to the class is not so bad when he talks about Lucy and how she did at the Spokespet contest. Lucy won the first round of the contest sponsored by the Pet-O-Rama petstores. Will she win the final? If she does win, will Bobby want to be in TV commercials? If you enjoy this book, be sure to read the first two books about Lucy: Absolute Lucy and Lucy on the Loose.
