Charlie (Charlie Bumpers vs. the Teacher of the Year) is disappointed when he's cast as the Nice Gnome--rather than the Evil Sorcerer--in the class play. Attempts to write his way into a better part fail, but the production illuminates Charlie's quick instincts and supportive nature. Strong characters, a fast-moving plot, and amusing black-and-white spot illustrations continue the fun in this second installment.
