But Fourmi is having trouble making that come true, and his unsupportive sister Formica doesn’t help very much. Fourmi can’t even pass the how to escape humans, digging, and carrying big things tests, which are essential to passing ant school. If Fourmi doesn’t pass these tests in time, he’ll be banished to the grass. So Fourmi’s mom takes him to Dr. Terapeut, a therapist who helps him through his difficulties and tells him that he can pass his tests. Will Fourmi pass the tests and prove that he’s a real ant, or will he be banished to the grass?
