The Adventures of Gum

Gum could barely hold in his excitement on the last day of school. He had waited for this moment for over 280 days School was close to being out, and he had plans - BIG PLANS

His fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Magle, told the class that she had a fun surprise for the last day of school. What could it be? Well, let's just say that Mrs. Magle and Gum don't define "fun" the same way. Mrs. Magle announced to the class that she would be their teacher next year also. That wouldn't be so bad, except she assigned everyone a SUMMER WRITING PROJECT

Gum doesn't like this news What's he supposed to write about? He hates writing How can he live out a summer of adventure with a writing project looming over his head? To make matters even worse, Gum's mom is a teacher across the hall. How will he ever get out of this unfortunate mess? A summer must be savored and enjoyed. SUMMERS ARE FOR KIDS
