Bookroo's summary

When a monstrous substitute teacher arrives, he shares eerie tales of past students' misdeeds to tame a rowdy class. But as the students remain unruly, his own chilling story might be the key to changing their ways. Will his spooky revelation finally capture their attention and alter their behavior?

From the publisher

The troublemaking students of Ms. Jenkins’ class arrive at school one day to discover a substitute creacher has come to put a stop to their monkey business! He regales them with mind-boggling stories about his former students who didn’t follow the rules: Keith the glue-eater, Zach the daydreamer, and Hank the prankster, to name a few. But even this multi-tentacled, yellow-spotted, one-eyed monster’s cautionary tales about the consequences of mischief-making can’t seem to change the students’ wicked ways until he reveals the spookiest and most surprising story of all: his own. Chris Gall’s vibrant artwork leaps off the page with a dynamic comic book aesthetic that will grab both parents and monster-loving kids!
