Bradley hates school and everything to do with it. He hates getting up in the morning; he hates getting on the school bus; he hates sitting in the classroom; but most of all he hates his new teacher, Mrs. Gross. Bradley doesn't typically pay attention in school, until one day Mrs. Gross starts teaching the class some very odd things, and then whisks the zombie-like children away to an island where Bradley discovers teachers come from.

This is such a creative social criticism. I don’t normally like fantastical stories, but this was just so cute and well done. The island where teachers come from was a very well devised and executed concept. I will definitely be saving this book for my little brother. ( )
