A Present

The Adventures of Captain Underpants never made it to the Banned Books Locker Library. It was checked out before I even got back to class. And it stayed checked out. With a waiting list. I was going to have to save up and buy the rest of them now. I might even have to read it myself.

That afternoon, from my spot in the corner of the library, I watched as Mrs. Jones thanked Mr. Pilkey and helped him get ready to go. He told her he’d had a great time, and thanked her for fighting the good fight. He spotted me watching from the corner, and I ducked back behind The London Eye Mystery. When I peeked out again, he had pulled something out of his bag and was whispering something to Mrs. Jones. She looked back at me with a curious expression on her face. Mr. Pilkey’s ride to the airport arrived, and he and Mrs. Jones shook hands and said good-bye.

When he was gone, Mrs. Jones called me up to the front desk.

“Mr. Pilkey was very impressed with you, Amy Anne,” Mrs. Jones told me. She had that same curious expression on her face, like she was trying to figure something out. “In fact, he left you a present.”

A present?

Mrs. Jones looked around the same way I had in the cafeteria to make sure no one was watching, and then brought a boxed set of books up from beneath her desk.

It was every single Captain Underpants book there was. Twelve books.

“For me?” I said.

Mrs. Jones watched me closely. “He said you’d know what to do with them.”

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was the biggest single donation in the history of the Banned Books Locker Library!

“I do,” I said, and I scooped them up.

“Amy Anne,” Mrs. Jones said. “You know not to show these around at school, right?”

I nodded, already thinking about how to get in touch with M.J. as soon as possible.

We were going to need a lot more fake covers.
