Freddie returns with quite the conundrum, and boy is he one frustrated fly! He keeps missing social cues, misunderstanding what people mean, and then finding himself in a mess. Like when the bus driver tells him, “Why don’t you sing a little LOUDER?” and Freddie gets in trouble for doing exactly as he’s told. He doesn’t understand that people don’t always say what they mean–and he just doesn’t get that there is a lot more to communication than the words that people say.

Fortunately for our favorite fly, he has his dad and Principal Roachford available to teach him about connecting the communication dots, including voice tone, facial expressions and body language. But will Freddie remember to look for and connect all these dots when he’s buzzing about town on his own? Or will he find himself in the middle of more messy misunderstandings?
