One is ready to jump. The other is afraid to start. Together, they are unstoppable!
Grade Three is starting, and Donk is frozen with first-day worry. Enter Monk-a bouncing ball of pure energy who leaps before he looks!
When Mr. Owl announces the school challenge-THE GREAT OBSTACLE RACE-the two opposites face a daunting course of deep mud pits, swinging wrecking balls, high ring swings, and a steep ramp to capture the flag.
Donk freezes at the starting line, but Monk has a lightbulb moment:
You're built like a tank, Donk! But you need a steering wheel! You be the wild power, I will steer!
Working in complete sync, the unlikely duo conquers every challenge and discovers that true bravery isn't having zero fear-it's taking action even when you're terrified.
