“This book, "Miss Alaineus" is funny, witty, and full of great vocabulary. Young readers will learn an avalanche of new words in this book! They will also develop a better understanding of figurative language. To integrate this book into a classroom activity, we would do the same thing we did in my college class... each student would think of a figurative language phrase (such as "green with envy") and share it with the class.”

“Miss Alaineus is hilarious, witty, and full of great vocabulary. Young readers will learn a plethora of new words as well as a better understanding of figurative language. The story also touches on aspects other than academics, as the protagonist learns important lessons in humility and appropriately overcoming an embarrassing situation.”
