Bookroo's summary

Mrs. Green is anxious about her first day teaching at the Black Lagoon. Rumors swirl about her new class, notorious for driving teachers away. Are the students truly monstrous, or is it all just talk? Armed with her survival kit, Mrs. Green must discover if she can teach or tame these peculiar pupils. Will she uncover the truth behind the legends, or become another victim of the class's fearsome reputation? Dive into a tale where the line between myth and reality blurs, and every school day is an adventure.

From the publisher

It’s another scary day at the Black Lagoon . . . for the new teacher, Mrs. Green. There’s a new class coming for the first day of school and Mrs. Green is worried. Is it true that the class is really weird and that they put their last three teachers into early retirement? Will the students really turn into horrible ghouls as soon as they get to school? Will Mrs. Green really need her ultimate survival kit to teach the class or tame the class? Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
