Synopsis

Best-selling author Katherine Applegate returns for another hilarious life lesson with the antics of wellmeaning Roscoe Riley. It seems everyone is winning trophies lately-except Roscoe.

Roscoe didn't much like the sweater before, but now that it's gone, he's starting to wonder if he made the right decision.
