Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Miss Nelson goes away for a week, and the kids in Room 207 fear that they'll have the dreaded substitute teacher, Viola Swamp. Instead, they get Principal Blandsworth, who bores them into taking drastic measures. "A nutty sequel to Miss Nelson Is Missing," PW stated. "Marshall's color cartoons and the twisty tale rise to stratospheric heights of buffoonery."

Miss Nelson Is Back-The Timeless Classic,
By Luke Van Denend (Grand Rapids, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Nelson Is Back (Paperback)
~I read this book for the first time as a choice for storytelling in my forensics class, and as i developed the characters, voices, and knowledge of this book, the more i loved it! This book tells of school kids whose teacher leaves for a week to get her tonsils taken out, they think (on the assumption of an older kid) that they will get a mean horrid teacher named Viola Swamp!!! They end up getting the boring principal, eventually they get rid of him (I wont tell how) and they go out for fun~~ days galore. Its a hoot!~

Miss Nelson is Back,
By Colleen G. (michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Nelson Is Back (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (School & Library Binding)
Miss Nelson Is Back is written by James Marshall and Henry Allard, and was made for Miss Audrey Bruce.This short story is about a group of nine children in classroom 209 with a teacher named Miss Nelson. When Miss Nelson is out for a week the children get a lesson taught to them that they will never forget. Children will enjoy this book, because it is dealing with things that kids have to go through. Children can learn a good lesson for school about not messing with a substitute teacher, because one time you might get a teacher that wont put up with any nonsense, and could punish them very bad by possibly putting them in detention or worse.

Return of Miss Viola Swamp,
By Darien Summers "Author of The Mischievous Har... (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Nelson Is Back (Hardcover)
Miss Nelson must leave her class for a little while, and out of boredom the children begin to act up. Miss Nelson finds out about this and calls on her evil friend, the witch, Miss Viola Swamp. Just as in the previous book in this series (Miss Nelson is Missing), Miss Swamp puts the children's mischief to bed, and gets the kids working hard again.
I don't want to give away much more as I've probably already given away too much. But, suffice it to say that my kid loves this book, and my both me and my wife have fond memories of it from our respective childhood years. The book is 32 pages, beautifully illustrated and appropriate for readers aged 7-8. Darien Summers, author of The Mischievous Hare, a childrens book. The Mischievous Hare
