From the publisher

The notorious Miss Swamp reappears at the Horace B. Smedley School, this time to shape up the football team and help them to win at least one game. “Children of any age will relish the raucous carrying-on at what has to be the most gloriously awful school in the entire state of Texas.” – Horn Book
