The Golden Whisper

By A.C. Riggan

Franzipants, the oddball substitute teacher, has no idea that she's stepping into a world of chaos and crime when she goes to work at Pocahontas Primary School of Pickering. The explosive Principal Brum, devious Dan the custodian, and the mafioso Brutticuli brothers head up the conflict that only the sub and her special touch, together with her army of nose picking 3rd graders, can resolve. This hilarious tale of accidents, punch-ups, snotty kids, and dastardly thieves, will have you cheering for our heroine as she unleashes her secret weapon and saves the day.

Pocahontas Primary School of Pickering was buzzing with excitement. It was its final week of special projects and crafts, leading up to a big fund raising festival. Classes of children worked away like little elves making photo frames, friendship bracelets, and fridge magnets with hearts on them.
