Description: "Norris Fowler isn't the most well-liked kid in school -- he's been know to cut in line for the swings, steal his classmates' lunches and cheat off of their tests, and he loves hammering slow-moving players in dodgeball (his favorite sport). So when his teacher, Ms. Penfield chooses him to look after her prized plant collection while she's away, everyone is shocked -- including Norris! After accidentally ruining one of the plants, Norris comes up with a brilliant scheme (involving a bogus investigation and a gigantic lobster that has the entire town talking) to avoid taking the blame. But will his efforts be worth it? A narrow escape is the second book in The Lobster Chronicles, a trilogy about how life changes for three boys in a small coastal town when a giant lobster is caught in a trap."--Jacket.
