Miss Dimple has been teaching first grade for over 40 years. She is the most dependable teacher imaginable. When she doesn't show up for school one day without letting anyone know that she will be gone, well, everyone knows that something is wrong. Charlie Carr and her friend, Annie, try to figure out where Miss Dimple might be. World War II is going on and everyone's lives are affected. Charlie's brother is missing and one of her boyfriends has decided to enlist. Could something related to the war be the reason that Miss Dimple is gone?
This is the first book that I have read by Mignon Ballard. I like WWII stories and this one was lots of fun. All of the characters were enjoyable but Charlie and Annie were especially fun. One got a very good sense of the time period and the worries that all of the families at home had for their loved ones fighting the war. Miss Dimple herself was the kind of teacher that everyone would like to have had.
Rating - A-
