Bookroo's summary
The third graders at Bailey Elementary are notorious for driving teachers away, but Mrs. Jeepers is different. Fresh from the Transylvanian Alps, she possesses unusual powers that keep the class in line. As the students wonder if she might be a vampire, they must decide if her unconventional methods are exactly what they need. Can they uncover the truth about Mrs. Jeepers before it's too late?
From the publisher
The kids in the third grade at Bailey Elementary are so hard to handle that all of their teachers have quit. But their new teacher, Mrs. Jeepers, is different to say the least. She’s just moved from the Transylvanian Alps and she seems to have some strange powers that help her deal with these mischief-makers. Her methods may be a little unconventional, but, then again, Mrs. Jeepers may be just what the Bailey School kids need.
