Classroom at the End of the Hall - Hardcover
Synopsis
What would you do if you clapped two erasers together and a genie appeared in a cloud of chalk-dust and granted you three wishes? Or if you opened your messy desk and a small creature was eating your favorite eraser? Or if a voice in your ear told you the answer to a very difficult question on a test? Here are 11 stories of the strange happenings in the classroom at the end of the hall. The one the janitor claims is haunted by the ghost of W.T. Melon himself, the original principal of the school. Each story tells a comic tall tale that teaches a few unusual lessons about schools, teachers, kids, and learning itself.

Review
Incredible encounters seem to be the norm at this school, and the unbelievable experiences all seem to prove a point. Whether it's the hirsute beasty that moves into the desk of the messy girl or a genie from the chalkboard that grants a wish to the class know-it-all, the creatures of Douglas Evans's amusing stories all communicate subtle lessons to kids. Humorous stories of familiar students and unbelievable classroom inhabitants make this book an attractive alternative to stories of the supernatural that entertain without any substance. (Ages 8 to 12)
