Join Hubie once again as he faces his comically horrific fears during his first trip to the school library. Mrs. Beamster may be the school librarian, but to the kids at school, she's the "Laminator." If she catches you whispering, you're laminated! How will Hubie ever survive his first library trip?

Hubie has been invited to a New Year's Eve sleepover but has never spent the night away from home. What happens if he gets sick and what's all the talk about making a New Year's resolution?

There's a new gym teacher transferring over from the junior high, and Hubie is worried. The junior high students say he's big, mean, and blows his whistle a lot. Will Hubie really have to run a lap around the world to pass Mr. Green's class? Will he be able to lift Mr. Green's pickup truck and climb up a rope while it's on fire? Hubie doesn't want to go to gym class anymore!

Everyone has to run for an office in Mrs. Green's class election. Everyone has to run for something in the class election. But you'd rather run for your life! Even worse, you're running against Doris, who's bought the whole class's votes with ice cream, even your friends. And if you lose the election, they might vote you out of school-yikes! So don't miss out on the jokes and laughs in the Class Election from the Black Lagoon! Mean Mrs. Green is forcing...

There's a new class coming for the first day of school and Mrs. Green is worried. Is it true that the class is really weird and that they put their last three teachers into early retirement? Will the students really turn into horrible ghouls as soon as they get to school?

After getting so bundled up that he can hardly move, Hubie tries to enjoy his snow day off from school.

"It's the end of March, and Hubie is struggling to prepare his pranks for the big day. The whoopee cushion, the rubber tarantula, and the fly in the ice cube just aren't good enough anymore--not when the worst joke comes from the place he least expects it"--P. [4] of cover.
