Mrs. Ravenbach's Way

"Being a new student at the McKegway School for Clever and Gifted Children is crummy enough, but when Toby Wilcox is stuck in the fourth grade homeroom of Mrs. Ravenbach, a vainglorious tyrant who worships "the order and the discipline," he faces a much bigger challenge - fight back or be ground to goo in the gears of academic efficiency." -- Book jacket.
