Book Description

John and his third-grade classmates are devastated when they learn that their beloved teacher is leaving, and they come up with several schemes to get her to stay.


Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 2-4. Like his ant farm, rocked by a disastrous "earthquake" when John accidentally knocks it over, his classmates experience an upset when their beloved teacher announces that she will be leaving at the end of the week. And like those dogged ants, John and his friends Buzzy and Kate work tirelessly to set things right, but their efforts to keep Mrs. Lucas from moving away are predictably unsuccessful. Full-page, shaded pencil drawings appear throughout the book. Studded with moments of suspense and humor, this convincing school story will entertain children who are ready to read chapter books but still happy to see a picture every few pages. Carolyn Phelan

Review

"Studded with moments of suspense and humor, this convincing school story will entertain children who are ready to read chapter books but still happy to see a picture every few pages." (Booklist, ALA )

"Myer's novel is realistic, sensitive to the feelings of young children, and very funny." (Horn Book )
