The
Substitute of Last Resort:
(New Novel! Read Chapter Two) There's
only one substitute teacher who can handle the "bad
class", the fourth-graders at Elemenopy Elementary
School! She recently graduated from the SOLR Academy, and
she must constantly refer to the BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO SUBSTITUTING,
but with the aid of some fancy devices in her canvas backpack,
Miss Subway is able to keep this class in line and under
control. How sublime!
