Plot Summary

Miss Fox's class is back!  Now the students want to go to Roller Coaster Planet -- and they are determined to earn the money for their trip.  But each fund-raising attempt ends in disaster involving Percy P. Possum, the school's visiting author.  As the class pays to repair the various mishaps they cause, soon their earnings are going down, not up!  How will they ever get to Roller Coaster Planet?

Reviews

"Teachers will appreciate the inclusion of real-life addition and subtraction, while kids will enjoy the buoyant humor as the story unfolds in well-chosen words and amusingly chaotic watercolor-and-ink illustrations." Booklist

"The extended math problem makes the story a nice tie-in for young mathematicians..." School Library Journal

"Spinelli cleverly weaves a lesson in math and finances into this cute picture book, which is the third in a series of adventures for Miss Fox's class."
