One Final Firecracker — Gregory Maguire

It's the end of the school year for Miss Earth's class. Everyone is sad to leave their favorite teacher, but there's also a lot to celebrate: the circus is in town, Miss Earth and Mayor Grass are getting married, and Fourth of July celebrations are about to begin. No one wants to be left out of the fun . . . not even a deadly Siberian snow spider, the ghost of a baby elephant, an alien elf (disguised as an angel), a stupid cupid, or a fire-breathing half-lizard-half-chicken-practically-dragon. Will all the unexpected guests bring the big top crashing down? One thing is certain--it will be a summer no one in Hamlet will ever forget!
