Four Stupid Cupids (Copycats Vs. Tattletales)

by Gregory Maguire (Author)

Synopsis

Strange happenings are afoot in Hamlet, Vermont, and the Copycats and Tattletales are in the thick of things once again!

When Fawn brings an old vase into Miss Earth's class for show-and-tell, Josiah Fawcett Elementary School is invaded by four not-so-clever cupids from Ancient Greece. Anyone stung by the cupids' potent arrows is destined to fall helplessly in love.

As the boys in the Copycats club fret about what the girls might do with the cupids' formidable power, the female Tattletales seize the opportunity to make a love match for their lonely teacher, Miss Earth. Things go terribly awry with hilarious results as the inept cupids send one arrow after another to the wrong target.
