The Kids in Mrs. Z's Class: Rohan Murthy Has a Plan

Meet the kids in Mrs. Z’s wacky and wonderful third-grade class! Rohan Murphy has an ambitious dream to launch his own pet care business, but when he starts small by babysitting the class guinea pig, he makes big mistakes.

Rohan Murthy dreams of running a successful business—just like his mom, who’s an artist. When Mrs. Z announces that Curiosity Academy needs to raise money for a school garden, Rohan knows it’s the perfect moment to launch his dreams! He'll start a pet care company to help the people of Peppermint Falls look after their dogs, hamsters, fish, snakes, lizards . . . anything but cats. With hard work, some glittery posters, and the help of his friends from Mrs. Z's class, Rohan knows he can do a lot for the school garden. 

His parents point out just one small problem: Rohan has never taken care of an animal before. Gulp!
 
To get some experience with pets, Rohan volunteers to spend a weekend watching over Honey, the class guinea pig. But Honey appears surprisingly fearful, which makes Rohan nervous too! When his big dreams meet his secret fears, what will Rohan decide? 
 
Both sweetly poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, with black-and-white illustrations by Pura Belpré Honor artist Kat Fajardo, Rohan’s story invites readers into Mrs. Z’s class where friendship and fun rule the school, from Newbery Honor-winning author Rajani LaRocca.
