In the nineteenth chapter book about Harry and the kids in room 3B, Harry's best friend, Doug, warns readers that Harry does something really horrible in this story. The third-graders find out that their teacher, Miss Mackle, is getting engaged. But who is the lucky man? To solve the mystery, Harry steals a piece of the engagement cake with what he thinks is the groom's name printed on it--but the detective gets it wrong. What's more, in his nervousness about being a thief, Harry passes gas and stinks up the classroom.
