Ricky has always been more comfortable with animals than with people. His room is home to six squirrels, turtles, birds, lizards and a two foot long alligator. That is why Ricky enjoys spending time with his grade eight science teacher, Mr. Johnston - he loves animals almost as much as Ricky! And inside his classroom is a 2 meter long boa constrictor named Bogart who moves freely around the room as the students work. Then one weekend some thugs break into the school, vandalizing the school property and injuring Bogart so badly he must be 'put to sleep'. Ricky, along with his best friend Augie, decide not only isn't this fair, but that they have to do something to help make things right.
Based on the real life happenings of the author.
