Chapter 7

MR. GOODSTEIN

Katie frowned as she watched the substitute teacher write his name across the blackboard. She had been in her classroom only five minutes, and already things with Mr. Goodstein were not very “good.”

The substitute hadn’t been happy that there were no desks for class 4A. He had asked the kids to arrange their beanbag chairs in neat rows on the floor. That made 4A almost look like a normal classroom. Worse yet, Katie was sitting behind Mandy. Mandy was very tall, which made it difficult for Katie to see the board.

“Please take out your science notebooks,” Mr. Goodstein told the class. “We are going to learn the vocabulary for the parts of the plant.” He picked up a piece of chalk and began to write. “The basic parts of a plant are the roots, stems, leaves…”

Bam. Just then, George dropped his notebook—accidentally on purpose—on the floor.

Bam. Kevin dropped his notebook on the floor, too.

The trouble had begun.

Bam. Katie slammed her notebook hard on the floor. It felt so weird to misbehave on purpose. Katie was not at all sure she liked it.

Bam. Bam. Andrew and Emma Stavros dropped their notebooks.

Bam. Bam. Bam. Kadeem, Mandy, and Emma W. all dropped theirs as well.

“What is going on here?” Mr. Goodstein demanded.

“Sorry,” George said with a mischievous grin. “We’re kind of a clumsy class.”
