Penina Levine has a bossy best friend, a tattletale sister, crazy parents, and a big, fat zero on her school assignment to write a letter as the Easter Bunny. It was a stupid assignment, completely impossible, totally unfair. Penina?s never going to do it?not ever?and it?s no use telling her parents about it. They never listen to her anyway. But Penina?s grandmother does. Grandma doesn?t think Penina should do the assignment. It?s a matter of principle. It?s a matter of strength. It?s a matter of five thousand years of history and a couple dozen hard-boiled eggs.
