As I love the show Head of the Class, it was fun to relive some of the episodes without having to watch them. As I read, I can imagine the scenes playing out in front of me. I do wish that the book had been more than six episodes adapted to a novelization, or more accurately, a junior novelization format. It would have been better to have expanded upon the characters and seen them in situations that we didn't already see played out on the screen.
