In fact, Mr. Peña doesn't believe in class pets at all. And for Bat, that's one change too many. Bat and his best friend, Israel, know they need to convince Mr. Peña to change his mind about class pets—and when a business of friendly ferrets arrives at Bat's mom's veterinary clinic, they think they've found the perfect pet to do so.
