Axle Annie

Winter packs a wallop in Burskyville. But it doesn't matter how hard it snows, because Axle Annie is the best school bus driver around. "Do snowplows plow? Do tow trucks tow? . . . Of course I can make it up Tiger Hill," she says, and that's why the schools never close. The laziest bus driver in town is not pleased at all. He comes up with a scheme to keep Axle Annie off the road. But he's not counting on Annie's gumption. Of course she'll make it up Tiger Hill-won't she?
