About this book
Katie Kazoo is an ordinary elementary school kid until a magic wind turns her into her own teacher for a day. Suddenly she sees how hard it is to keep a class on track—and how much her choices matter. This funny, fast-paced chapter book is great for newly independent readers who like school stories with a sprinkle of magic. Kids enjoy the humor, classroom mishaps, and the wish-fulfillment of switching roles with an adult.
Setting: contemporary elementary school classroom
