Summary: What's up with the hair?
Comment: What's up with the hair? That's Melody's question when she first meets Miss Kidwell. Miss Kidwell has come to Bailey School and is causing total chaos. First the lights, then the school bell. What next, the FATS building? After Miss Kidwell has caused Eddie's plane to attack, Melody's watch to stop working and the school bus horn to play the tune Rain, Rain, Go Away , the four friends must stop Miss Kidwell from distroying the town of Bailey. But how? Their fearless nerve keeps the friends from giving up on eliminating the Gremlin. Dadey and Thornton team up to once again provide us with another zainy title in their collection of Bailey School Kids books. The series helps to motivate some chlidren to pick up a book by captivating them with the idea that maybe the folks in the school office, the janitor, the teachers or even the school nurse are not who they seem to be. The text and organization of the chapters flow well. Chapter titles help us gain foresight into what is to come. Students in the suggested age range should find it a good read.

Summary: there's a gremlin in the works!
Comment: Gremlins were first discussed during World War II when British planes mysteriously stopped working. It was said that a little magical creature with a taste for messing up mechanical and electrical things was tinkering about and causing mischief in the plane. If that's the case, a gremlin wouldn't bother with Bailey Elementary School, and she CERTAINLY wouldn't chew bubble gum... WOULD SHE??
Welcome to "lucky" number 13 in the Bailey School Kids series. If you've been following their strange and sometimes creepy adventures, you'll know that the 3rd grade teacher may be a vampire, a genie once moved in next door to the school, a werewolf may have been the camp counselor, and even Santa Claus himself may have been the school custodian! That is, if you happen to believe in that sort of thing...
This time, Ms. Kidwell has come to substitute for the school secretary. Once there, odd things seem to happen whenever she chews her bubble gum. The lights go out, the fire bell goes haywire, the clocks stop working. What's REALLY odd-and kind of creepy-is that every time something electrical goes on the fritz, a new charm appears on Ms. Kidwell's charm bracelet!! Is it possible she's a gremlin come to play around with the school's electrical systems?
The Bailey School Kids series is a fast-paced one where strange, odd and sometimes creepy things are always happening. Children who are even reluctant readers are enjoying them because of their subject matter (weird, often supernatural creatures who seem to appear in everyday settings-gremlins chewing gum, cupid flipping hamburgers, witches doing backflips, etc etc etc)-and because of the quick, snappy comebacks that are always flying back and forth between the characters. As an adult, I can finish one of these in about 15-20 minutes and have found myself reading as many as I can lay my hands on. While they may not be pillars of Western Literature, if they inspire your child to read, then read on!!

Summary: enjoyable reading
Comment: My daughter has read almost all of the Bailey Schoolseries. She says that this is not her favorite Bailey School Kidsbook, but she liked it. The Bailey School Kids series is a great way for parents to get reluctant readers to enjoy reading. You may find your child begging you to buy another one, as I did.
