tale is now in paperback Holling Hoodhood is really in for it. He''s
just started seventh grade with Mrs. Baker, a teacher he knows is

outside of class? The year is 1967, and everyone has bigger things
than homework to worry about. There''s Vietnam for one thing, and
then there''s the family business. As far as Holling''s father is
concerned, nothing is more important than the family business. In
fact, all of the Hoodhoods must be on their best behavior at all
times. The success of Hoodhood and Associates depends on it. But
how can Holling stay out of trouble when he has Mrs. Baker to
contend with?
