  Boggle hats are the latest thing. Everybody at school wants one - but only Lola actually has one. So she decides to form a club to show the other children how best to nag their parents into buying them one. Tactics rang from the Oh, please, please, please Nag to the Huffy Nag and the Blazing Tantrum. However, when the children try some of these nags out, they get mixed results - and discover that the best way of all is either to just be pleasant and polite and say please, or even earn a bit of money and buy one for themselves!
