(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jared Chapman. Convinced that his teacher, Miss Martin, is a Martian, Melvin Eugene Baxter records her extraterrestrial-type behavior (e.g., her super memory and brainwashing abilities) in his journal. After an act of kindness, he concludes that she's not a Martian after all but a "Superhero from Saturn." The pages, set up to look like Melvin's journal entries, feature humorous, childlike caricatures of his teacher.
