Last Day Blues
Last Day Blues
By Julie Danneberg

It's the last week of school, and Mrs. Hartwell's class is excited to leave for summer vacation. The only problem is that the kids don't want their teacher to miss them while they're gone. Once again Julie Danneberg and Judy Love bring to life the crazy antics of Mrs. Hartwell and her class in Last Day Blues and show that teachers and students are more alike than different.
