Sometimes you can change history... and sometimes history can change you. When Stosh travels into the past to meet Roberto Clemente, a legendary ballplayer and a beloved humanitarian, he's got only one goal: warning Roberto not to get on the doomed plane that will end his life in a terrible crash. In the sixties, Stosh meets free-spirited Sunrise, and together they travel across the country to a ball game that leaves them breathless-and face-to-face...

A.J. and his friends find out what amazing things Miss Lazar, the Super Custodian at their school, can do.

Mrs. Yonkers, the computer teacher, is the nerdiest teacher in the history of the world. She can type with her feet! She buys foam cheeseheads off eBay! She even puts a Webcam on a turtle! Is she trying to take over the planet?

A.J. and his friends in the second grade learn that art can be made out of anything, even garbage.

Could Mrs. Roopy, the new librarian, be A.J.'s craziest teacher yet? When the class shows up they find her dressed first as George Washington and then Little Miss Muffet. And Mrs. Roopy won't even admit that it's her! Can A.J. and his class help their very troubled librarian before she does something really crazy?

A.J. thinks that nothing can possibly be as boring as a sleepover in the natural history museum. But anything can happen when Ms. Krup is in charge. The tour guide says that dinosaur skeletons come to life in the middle of the night. Is she right?

Mrs. Cooney, the school nurse, is so beautiful that A.J. has a crush on her--even though he suspects she might be an international spy!
