Dial M for Mongoose
“Clue in the Face I slipped into my seat just as Mr. Ratnose was finishing up roll call.
"There's one of our missing members," he said. "Thanks for joining us, Chet Gecko. Now has anyone heard from Rick Shaw? Olive Drabb? Bo Newt?" My classmates shrugged or shook their heads.
Mr. Ratnose paced. "This is highly irregular. Their parents are going to hear all about it at Parents Night." Of course, if they were lucky, the kids would miss Parents Night altogether. (Which was far more than I could hop...e for.) Mr. Ratnose surveyed the classroom. "Hmm," he said.
