I didn’t wait for Principal Love to answer.

“Knock, knock,” I said.

“Who’s there?” said Mr. Rock.

“Jupiter,” I said with a grin.

“Jupiter who?”

“Ju-pi-ter hurry, or you’ll miss the bus.”

Mr. Rock cracked up. I could tell Principal Love liked it because the mole on his cheek did the hula. The other kids in the library laughed out loud. Only Ms. Adolf didn’t crack a smile.

“There is no laughing in the library,” she growled. “In fact, this team is out of the running for being too silly.”

“Not so fast, Ms. Adolf,” Mr. Rock said. “I know Paula Hart, and she’s a very funny person. She puts humor in all her books. I think she’d get a big kick out of Hank and his team. They’re my first choice.”

Wow. I couldn’t believe my ears. My eyes moved to Principal Love. He was going to be the deciding vote. I wish I understood what he said next.

“Humor is also known by the word ‘comedy,’” he began. “It is the opposite of drama, which is serious and does not involve laughter. Yet it seems to me that the visit of Paula Hart is an appropriate occasion for laughter, which also helps with the digestion of vegetables.”

“Is he saying yes or no?” I whispered to Frankie and Ashley.

“Whatever he’s saying, he’s taking a long time,” Ashley whispered back.

“While I usually agree with Ms. Adolf,” Principal Love went on, “in this case, I have to go with Mr. Rock.”

It was a yes.

Three of my favorite letters.

Y. E. S.

I could already see that bulletin board in my mind. There was my picture, grinning at everyone who passed by.

Get ready, bulletin board. Here I come!
