(3) K-3 Olivia deduces from eavesdropping that her parents mean to send her to prison. She's relieved, then excited, to learn that the "institution" in question is actually the ballet. Being Olivia, she finds a way to get into more trouble once at the theater. Counterpoint between the dialogue-filled text and expressive mixed-media illustrations makes for a very funny (if just slightly message-y) story.
