Bookroo's summary

Miss Bindley seems like any other teacher, but her cravings are anything but ordinary. When hunger strikes, it's not lunch she eyes—it's the class pets! As students watch in disbelief, each pet mysteriously vanishes. What drives her bizarre appetite, and who will be next on the menu? Dive into this whimsical tale where the classroom becomes a culinary adventure, and nothing is as it seems. Can the students uncover the truth before it's too late?

From the publisher

Meet Miss Bindley–an ordinary teacher with an unusual appetite. Miss Bindley doesn’t eat the usual fare like tuna melts and meatloaf. Instead, when her stomach grumbles, it’s the class pets she has her eye–er, stomach–on. Watch out! You never know who might be next.
