INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Maguire, Gregory

One Final Firecracker

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Elaine Clayton. In the final book about the students of Miss Earth's small-town-Vermont classroom, aliens from the planet Fixipuddle visit again and a Siberian snow spider pursues one of the kids--all this (and more) during Miss Earth's wedding. Cameos from characters (mostly villains) of the previous books feel tangential, but Maguire is otherwise sure-handed with his impressively outrageous plot.
