Felix Funicello (Annette Funicello's distant cousin) is 10 years old and attending St. Aloysius Gonzaga Parochial School in Connecticut. He resembles Dondi, the cartoon character. He is rather small for his age, but is smart, usually the second ranked in his class.
Felix is a little naïve about life. His friend Lonny usually gives him some insight into life, but Felix doesn't really understand too much of the life information that Lonny provides.
Felix is in constant competition with Rosalie Twerski for best in class (grade-wise). Rosalie is always bringing in posters and trying to be the best at everything.
The rest of the novel focuses on new teachers, new students that bring some variety to the school and the Christmas pageant that takes much planning.
This is really a cute novel. You are reading it as if Felix is really writing it, so the English is as though a 10 year old is actually talking.
