Horn Book Review

Student teacher Miss Mary wears all black, says "bloody" a lot (she's British), and constantly interrupts class to talk to her rocker boyfriend. Rumor has it Mary's a vampire, but since she's the principal's daughter, she can't be stopped. Not much happens in the story and what does is hardly believable. Puns and frenetic, mostly over-kids'-head humor abound. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
