Thirteen Ways to Sink a Sub

Hobie Hanson knew the sounds coming from across the hall could mean only one thing: 4A had a substitute teacher. And she was sinking fast. If the first six months in Hobie's fourth-grade class were any sign, 4B would never be so lucky. They'd never have a chance to do what you do when your regular teacher's out sick. Mr. Star was as healthy as a horse. But when Mr. Star rushes out of the room one sunny day -- "indisposed, " the principal says -- Hobie and his classmates hear "s-u-b." They are prepared. No substitute teacher could possibly withstand a volley from their vast arsenal of sub sinkers. Tapping secrets every student knows, Jamie Gilson's hilarious tale of intrigue and madcap competition will have readers cheering at each breathtaking turn.Jamie Gilson is the author of 'Thirteen Ways to Sink a Sub', published 1990 under ISBN 9780671729585 and ISBN 0671729586.
