Luckily for him, his buddy Syd knows a test taking secret that could save the day – exercise for kids! Syd encourages Dallas to run and jump from page to page to support brain power. She knows that workouts and a healthy lifestyle will help improve Dallas’ memory and brain function. With aerobic movement, Dallas starts remembering continents one by one. But will he remember them all in time for his test?
