Tony Baloney Buddy Trouble

Tony Baloney--the loveable, highly relatable hero--is back in the second installment of this bravura new Beginning Reader series!

Tony Baloney and his best friend,
Bob, can't wait for tonight.
It's Books and Buddies,
the best school event ever!
But will a fight with Big Sister
ruin everything?
