Monster Story (Unforeseen Circumstances Book 11)

James Sandberg has been teaching Sixth Grade for a long time. Less than a month away from finishing up his twentieth year of coddling and baby-sitting the little monsters, he just doesn't know if he can continue teaching much longer. He needs to find a new career while he's still young enough to be seriously considered for a new line of work.

Mark Manzella and Scott Newcomb are two of the worst students Mr. Sandberg has ever encountered. It isn't that the boys are poor students; both could get reasonably good grades, if they would only apply themselves. What makes them so intolerable is their behavior. They are noisy, disruptive, and rude to their teacher and fellow students. They talk back, sass, argue, disagree, and otherwise make life hard for Mr. Sandberg. Manzella is by far the worst of the two, and that's saying something.

In only 19 more days, summer vacation will begin. Mr. Sandberg will never again have to deal with Manzella or Newcomb. Just the thought that he will soon be rid of them forever, fills him with bliss.

But sometimes Manzella thinks old 'Sandbutt' picks on him too much. He doesn't like the teacher any more than the teacher likes him. He is looking forward to being rid of Sandbutt once and for all, at least as much as the teacher looks forward to being rid of him.

But is his time table the same one Mr. Sandberg is using?
