Ms. Frogbottom's class is a lot like your class. It has a chairs and desks and a teacher and students, but Ms. Frogbottom herself is different. Unique. Eccentric even. She carries a backpack with a giant MAGIC map. That map takes the class to visit places in the world that are educational. In the third book of the series, the class finds themselves in Romania visiting a creepy castle with monsters and even the most famous vampire in history: Count Dracula.
Sofia tells the story of exploring the castle, but when Olivia disappears and Mrs. Frogbottom goes into a trance, it's up to Sofia to save herself and her classmates. When Sofia succeeds, the kids applaud her intelligence. She's thrilled they praise her instead of teasing her for being a brainiac.
Readers will love the Frogbottom Facts sprinkled throughout the pages. There are facts about Romania, Bran Castle, hypnotism, Transylvania and much more.
Highly recommended as a classroom read grade 3-5. Readers who love The Magic Schoolbus will love the Ms. Frogbottom series.
