The Brain Hook and Other Random Stories from a Sixth Grade Classroom Amy Baldwin

Mrs. Malarkey is a quirky, fun-loving teacher, adored by her students and their parents. She loves to bring humor and creativity to her classes. Instead of scolding or punishment to keep order, she employs an arsenal of imaginary "weapons" to enforce classroom discipline. Among these weapons is The Brain Hook, which she and her former students adopted as a classroom joke after they studied Ancient Egypt in their social studies class. It's all fun and games, until a student disappears one day. Already on "thin ice" with the administration, the unusual teacher finds herself under investigation. The mysterious disappearance of Nat Sherwood is just one of several tales about the wacky Mrs. Malarkey. Join the Muckletown Middle School sixth graders on their exciting ride through a year in her classroom - complete with food fights, ghost stories, and shenanigans. Will Mrs. Malarkey be fired for her crazy tactics? Will Nat be found? Find out when you read The Brain Hook and Other Random Stories from a Sixth Grade Classroom - you're sure to be entertained!
