Synopsis
Miss Nelson can’t control her crazy classroom because she’s just too nice.
But when she disappears, her replacement is the hard-as-nails, detention-loving, recess-canceling, homework-overloading substitute teacher Viola Swamp!
With the Big Test approaching, the kids suddenly realize how much they miss Miss Nelson and they’ll do anything – including hiring a private eye – to solve the mystery of her disappearance and bring her back.
