4 Ch4-Up on the Roof

Chapter 4 Up on the Roof How was I going to get Emily's ball back? There were no ladders or stairs leading up to the roof of the school. I didn't know how to get up there. There was only one thing to do. I had to go find Miss Lazar. She would be able to figure out how to get up there.

Me and Michael and Ryan went inside the school and down the steps to the basement, where Miss Lazar's room is. We knocked on her door, and she opened it. Miss Lazar's room is the awesomest room in the school. She doesn't have a bunch of boring books or computers. She's got all kinds of tools and machines and junk all over the place. It is cool.

She stuck it into her

"Oh, you never know when a plunger might come in handy," Miss Lazar said. She's weird. Miss Lazar marched out to the play- ground, and we followed her. She looked up at the roof, and then she looked at the wall of the school. Then she did the most amazing thing in the history of the world. She started climbing the wall! Everybody in the playground stopped what they were doing and ran over to watch. Miss Lazar dug her fingers and the

toes of her shoes into the little cracks between the bricks and she slowly made her way up the wall. It was amazing! You should have been there! I guess word got around, because by the time Miss Lazar reached the second floor of the school, even Mr. Klutz had come out to watch. "What's going on?" Mr. Klutz asked. "Miss Lazar is climbing up to the roof to get Emily's tennis ball," Ryan told him. "I used to do a
