Clyde is a hyperactive kid, and his twin sister, Claudia, does her best to keep him out of trouble--but after a class field trip to the science museum, and a zapped banana, he suddenly finds that excitement transforms him into a real monkey, which may help him catch the thief who took the golden monkey.

Curious to see outside her field, Beth the cow sneaks onto a hot air balloon and goes for a wild ride, upsetting a number of people and collecting many objects and additional riders along the way.

Frustrating his sister with his tendency to transform into a monkey whenever he gets hyper, Clyde is given an extra-firm reason to try to control his energetic behavior when a new school principal moves into the neighborhood.

After falling asleep in math class, Guy is sentenced to one week of Kitchen Patrol. He quickly discovers there's something rotten in the school cafeteria -- and it's not the food! Guy makes meals (and messes) as he investigates why the head cook, the big bad Mrs. Wolf, doesn't help with the work. It's a recipe for trouble -- can he uncover her secret before it's too late?
