Synopsis

Angela's delighted when all of Mrs. Brinks' letters of commendation to the school board about Nanette culminate in the school board advancing Nanette to the fourth grade! Mrs. Brinks is devastated by the loss of her prize pupil, and in her vulnerable state, she transfers all of her previous affections for Nanette onto none other than Angela. At first, Angela's in her glee; after all, teacher's pets get away with everything! Soon, however, Brinks' attention becomes overwhelming, and she begins following Angela everywhere- even to the treehouse. Thankfully, Nanette isn't doing so well in the fourth grade popularity polls, and she decides to return to Mrs. Brinks' third grade class. At first, Angela's disappointed, but then she realizes that although she's gaining a Ninnie-Poo, she's also losing the clingy Mrs. Brinks.
