Tawny Lynn Brown is a six year old African - American girl who lives in the City of Lackawanna with her mom Tamara, her dad Randy, her brother Sam and her pet turtle Duke. She loves flowers and hates rainy days. She’s a first grader at Roosevelt Elementary, where she attends class with her best friend Jessie Johnson who lives down the street with his mom and his pet cat named Zeus. Today is Wednesday and there is a surprise added to the lunch menu today and everyone was curious. There was talk throughout the lunch room about a new soup. Imagine their surprise when they found out it was tomato and lice soup. What?! This can’t be. On top of all this the family was finally taking their pictures and Tawny wanted to make sure that Duke was in the pictures this time. She made Duke a hat and everything and she figured out a way to get Duke into the picture. Well sort of only not as she planned.
