A famous author is coming to visit and Eva and her classmates are assigned to write a story--but Eva Wingdale is totally distracted because her pet bat, Baxter, has gone missing, and she suspects that the sneaky squirrels have something to do with her missing pet.

Eva is excited because her parents have agreed to let her get a new pet, but she is not sure what kind of pet to get--or how Baxter, her bat, will react to a new member of the family.
