Freckle face Strawberry is a cute little red-headed girl (are there other kinds?) who enjoys her family, but also is keen to attend the school's Early Bird program before classes. There, Freckleface Strawberry can play with other children and get herself ready for class. However, when it rains, there is not rushing around in the field, but a requirement that everyone congregate in the gymnasium to play... dodgeball. No one enjoys dodgeball, especially when Windy Pants Patrick is around. He tosses the ball too hard and hurts kids with his laser tosses. Freckleface Strawberry has an idea to keep from being a target and hopes Windy Pants Patrick does not bother her. Neo liked to see gingers getting some decent coverage in books and enjoyed the original Freckleface Strawberry book, finding this one just as exciting.
