What are the students in Room 207 going to do? Their sweet and loving teacher, Miss Nelson is missing and was replaced with the terrible and mean substitute teacher, Miss Viola Swamp. Miss Swamp always wears an ugly black dress, yells at them, raps on the desk with her ruler, and loads them down with homework. Even though they had misbehaved badly for Miss Nelson: throwing spitballs, squirming in their desks, being rude during storytime, and flying paper airplanes, the students of Room 207 would do anything to get her back. What would it take to get Miss Nelson to return?
