Max's desk is so messy that his teacher makes him stay in from recess to clean it. Thankfully Zoe stays in to help him. While cleaning, they find a month of homework buried in the mess. Max has a lot of work to do before he can go out and play in the snow.
Max always seems to be missing something he needs to participate in school recess--can his best friend Zoe devise a system so he will remember everything he needs for school?
