Miss Nelson Has a Field Day (Miss Nelson, #3)

The notorious Miss Swamp reappears at the Horace B. Smedley School, this time to shape up the football team and help them to win at least one game.

The football team hasn't won a game all year. They haven't even scored a single point. They practice only when they feel like it, and neither Principal Blandsworth's admonition nor Coach Armstrong's heart-rending sobs spur them on. Something has to be done.

On a certain day when no one wants to practice, the coach's whistle blows, and the team cannot believe what they see: It's that substitute teacher from times past, the terrible tyrant from Miss Nelson's Room 207. The team knows they're in for it when she shouts for all to hear, "I am Coach Swamp."

The surprise twist to Miss Swamp's outrageous and rollicking story will delight and mistify the multitude of fans that Harry Allard and James Marshall have won with
Miss Nelson is Missing!
and Miss Nelson Is Back.

In this delightful comedy of disguise and surprise, Allard and Marshall pay a return visit to Room 207. There's nothing quite like Miss Nelson and her class – or is there?

Harry Allard and James Marshall, with their incisive feel for the nuances of relationships, once again point out with imagination and humor the folly of being inconsiderate or unappreciative.
