Description

Freddie is back, and boy is he one frustrated fly! He keeps missing social cues, so he misunderstands what people mean, and then he finds himself in a mess. When Mom yells, “Fine, just eat whatever you want,” Freddie does. When the bus driver hollers, “Why don’t you sing a little LOUDER?” Freddie does. Unfortunately for Freddie, they didn’t really mean what they said. They meant the opposite. But how was Freddie to know? HE HAS NO CLUE WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL CUES. Fortunately for our favorite fly, he has his dad and Principal Roachford available to teach him about connecting the communication dots, including voice tone, facial expressions and body language. But will Freddie remember to look for and connect all these dots when he’s buzzing about town on his own? Or will he find himself in the middle of more messy misunderstandings?
