Tony Spooner has inherited the family trait of
twisting words-just like his long-ago cousin,
William Spooner. But for Tony, spoonerisms
aren't an honor. They're a nightmare.
"My lough tuck." And the more nervous or
upset he gets, the more his words flip, warp,
and betray him. Tony wants to win a trophy-any trophy-but
every time he gets close, a bully steps in, and
Tony's tongue tangles the moment into disaster. Until the day the bully pushes him too far... and
Tony's twisted words unleash chaos-and a clever
way to turn the tables. Maybe his "curse" has a little power after all.
