The kids in 207 "were the worst-behaved class in the whole school,"
even during story hour - a deadly sin. After a surfeit of
spitballs, their sweet and permissive teacher, Miss Nelson,
reappears disguised as Miss Viola Swamp, and loads them down with
homework, forces them to behave, and cuts out story time. The
vacuous Detective McSmogg is no help with the disappearance, and
the children propose a shark attack or a trip to Mars to explain
it. . . "or maybe Miss Nelson's car was carried off by a swarm of
angry butterflies." Miss Nelson "returns" - minus wig, ugly dress,
false nose - to find the class remarkably changed. The message is
clear, the plot predictable, but there's fun in the telling and
Marshall's "stupid," innocent, funny-ugly characters. The broadly
comic illustrations are varied - individual portraits, full pages -
and filled with details like spitballs stuck on the ceiling.
Another slightly twisted and engaging Allard/Marshall
collaboration. (Kirkus Reviews)
The kids in Room 207 take advantage of their teacher's good nature until she disappears and they are faced with a substitute.
