The Lion, The Witch, And The Weasel The best thing about field trips is that you're not in school. And when you're not in school you don't have to do any assignments.

Angela sets out to prove Nanette wrong. She discovers an old partial photo of an Anaconda pulling the aforementioned cow. But, Angela's proof only proves Nanette right. See Nanette also has a piece of the same photograph. Side by side the pieces reveal a Manoir descendant riding the cow that an Anaconda descendant is pulling. The Anacondas were the Manoirs' milkmaids! The humiliation is overwhelming. Just then, Grandma Lou appears. Grandma Lou has a third and final piece of the Miss Nettie photograph puzzle.

Even January and Karlene join in the truancy act, resorting to deeds they must have picked up from Johnny Abatti. If Angela doesn't do something soon, Mrs. Brinks will never go away. Unfortunately for Angela, it appears she has already done too much. Mrs. Brinks is so touched by Angela's new angelic demeanor, she decides to stay at Tapwater Springs Elementary in order to be with her new favorite pupil! The Birdlady Of Tapwater Springs Angela, Johnny and Josephine find themselves in detention staring out of the window when a bird crashes into it. They rush outside to find the bird has seemingly died. Angela picks it up and offers a few words of condolence before giving it a proper toilet funeral. As Angela finishes her prayer, the bird comes to and flies away. The bird wasn't dead, just stunned. Johnny and Josephine are stunned too. They feel that Angela's touch healed the bird. Soon the whole school knows of Angela's healing powers. They offer her all sorts of goodies so she will use her magical powers on them. Of course Angela knows that she doesn't have any special powers but if she can make people happy and get cool perks while doing it, then where's the harm? But when Mrs. Brinks gets wind of Angela's voodoo, she demands that Angela give her the ability to dance again. Somehow Mrs. Brinks does manage to do a very brief and very bad two-step. Angela, pleased that she helped Mrs. Brinks with her jig, decides that this healing gig isn't for her and gracefully retires.

Secret Santa It's Christmas and Christmas is Angela's favorite time of the year. Everyone seems to be happier and full of holiday spirit. Of course, the presents are greatly appreciated too! Every year the children of Tapwater Elementary engage in a Secret Santa gift exchange. Last year Angela and Gina were each other's Secret Santa and Angela hopes that they will get to be Secret Santas again. But the odds are against them. Angela and Nanette end up becoming each other's Secret Santa. Christmas is ruined! Angela tries desperately to get someone else to buy Nanette a present but not even Karlene or January want that task. Angela has a brainstorm. She will get Nanette toilet water, other wise known as eau de toilette. Nanette loves that stuff! Suddenly, Angela overhears Nanette tell her clone club that she has bought Angela a spectacular gift. Now Angela has no choice but to get her nemesis something great. Something French. The only question that remains is, will Nanette appreciate it? Hooray For Chanukah It's Chanukah and Chanukah is Gina's favorite time of the year. Everyone seems to be happier and full of holiday spirit. Of course, the latkes are pretty good too! Every year the town celebrates the last night of Chanukah at Mapperson's bakery. This year, Angela and the gang are helping Gina carry her Grandmother's gigantic antique menorah to the festivities. Along the way they get hungry and decide to stop for special latke pizza at Abatti's. They ask Uncle Nicky to watch the menorah while they eat. He obliges but ends up gambling it away during one of many dreidel games. By the time the children catch up to the person who won the menorah, it's been pawned. The kids race to the pawnshop but now the menorah has been sold to Spangley Jangles. Angela refuses to give up. They convince Spangley to give them the menorah back. But on their way to Mapperson's they forget the menorah on the bus! Somehow the menorah ends up in Nanette's hands and the Manoirs use it for a chandelier! Angela knows that a miracle is what Chanukah is all about and a miracle is just what Tapwater Springs could use right about now.

Return To Sender Angela has been waiting a whole month for this very moment. Angela and her friends signed up for pen pals while on a trip to the museum. And today, Angela's letter from her pan pal has arrived. While everyone has cool pen pals - Gina gets food from hers - Gordy's pen pal is a ballerina - Angela by far has the best pen pal ever. Marie Antoinette (the aforementioned letter writer) writes pages and pages of really neat stuff. So great is Marie Antoinette and her prolific writing abilities, that Nanette engages in a pen pal competition with Angela . Nanette is positive her pen pal is the very best and is determined to prove it. But soon Nanette discovers that due to a pen pal mix up at the museum, her and Angela have unknowingly exchanged letters. Completely embarrassed, Nanette pretends to have known Angela was her pen pal all along. The next letter Marie Antoinette sends to Angelita (Angela's nom de plume) is viscous and nasty and poor Angela is crushed. When Angela finally learns the truth behind Marie Antoinette she decides to get even the best way she knows how. She uses Nanette's own words against her. I Wanna Mold Your Band Mr. Tastee Twirl is holding a talent contest in which the winner will get to ride with him in the Tastee Twirl truck and ring the Tastee Twirl bell. None of Angela's friends think they have any talent that would win them such a coveted prize. Well, Johnny has a so-so ventriloquist act with his puppet Sir Ducksworthy, but Angela isn't sure that's enough to win. Angela suggests that the gang reform their old band: Angela And Her Band-A-Condas! The gang isn't so gung-ho about the idea. It turns out that when the friends first formed the band, many years ago, Angela kind of got out of hand. Everyone has since vowed to never be in a music group together, no matter what. Then Nanette and her clone club show up and gloat about their band, the Oo-La-La-La-Las. If Nanette wins, she'll get to ring the Tastee Twirl bell and ice cream will be ruined forever. So the Band-A-Condas are quickly reborn. But with more in-fighting to deal with then the Beetles had when Yoko became a factor, the Band-A-Condas' band battle is all up hill.

Don't Be Caddie Today is the hottest day in Tapwater Springs and Angela and her pals decide to cool off in Nonna's water sprinklers. Unfortunately Tapwater Springs is experiencing a drought and the Mayor has ordered all citizens to conserve water. Just when it seems Gordy will die from his heat rash, the friends stumble across the Tapwater Country Club and its big, beautiful pool. Angela would love to jump in, but the pool is for members only. What's a girl to do? Well, it just so happens that Mark and Derek have jobs at the Club. With a little help from her parents, Angela's brothers agree to get Angela and friends pool time. But there's a catch. The next day the gang has to do caddie duty. They must help golfers choose the appropriate clubs and also retrieve lost golf balls. Everyone takes their job a little too seriously, retrieving golf balls just as players place them on the tee. Mark and Derek are impressed with Angela's work but never had any intention of actually letting her swim. The pool is being cleaned and it's empty! Angela has two choices: either fill the pool herself, or get an invitation to the Country Club from someone other then her brothers. The Pup Who Would Be King Thanks to King, Angela and her friends get to witness the miracle of birth. King bares four adorable puppies. Angela is immediately taken with a scrappy one that affectionately bites her nose. But Geneva doesn't want any puppies in the house. One dog is enough for the Anacondas and the puppies will be given away. The next day, when Angela returns home from detention, all but the scrappy puppy are gone. Angela promises to find the perfect home for her favorite pup. She interviews many Tapwater residents but none live up to her high standards. Geneva's standards aren't so high. She knows of a perfect place for the puppy to go to. Geneva gives the puppy to Mrs. Brinks! Well, Angela is livid and enlists her friends to help save the puppy from this terrible fate. Can you imagine how horrible it must be to have to lick Mrs. Brinks' face? The more Angela tries to save the puppy, the more apparent it becomes that the puppy truly loves Mrs. Brinks. It seems anything is possible.
