(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Tricia Tusa. Third-grader Pru Stanley will do anything to make Miss Sparling--the best teacher she's ever had--want to stay for more than one year at the tiny one-room school on Seal Island. With her friend Nicholas, Pru hatches a plan to win her teacher over to island life. The students' dialogue and behavior are right on target, but the story's pacing is choppy. The numerous illustrations will keep chapter book readers engaged.
