Class 507 is the worst class Ms. Bryce has ever taught. And she would know -- she's been teaching forever. They are so terrible that when a science experiment goes disastrously wrong (again), Ms. Bryce has had it and quits in the middle of the lesson. But through a mix-up, the school office never finds out. Which means... Class 507 is teacher-free! The class figures if they don't tell anyone, it'll be one big holiday. Kyle and his friends can play games all day. Samantha decides she'll read magazines and give everyone (much needed) fashion advice. Adam can doodle everywhere without getting in trouble. Eric will be able to write stories with no one bothering him. And Maggie... well, as the smartest kid in the class she has an ambitious plan for this epic opportunity. But can Class 507 keep the principal, the rest of the students, and their parents from finding out... or will the greatest school year ever turn into the worst disaster in school history?

From School Library Journal Gr 3–5—The fifth graders in Class 507 can be challenging, frustrating, and disruptive. After months of eraser fights and daily visits to the principal's office, an over-exploding science project eventually tips the scales. Their teacher, Ms. Bryce, immediately resigns, but her declaration never actually reaches the principal. It doesn't take the students long to determine that their class is "teacherless" and no one knows! Instantly, the fifth graders begin dreaming of daylong recess, no rules, and no homework. After further thought, the students begin to worry about a scheduled field trip, student duties, and their upcoming class play. Ultimately, they realize they must band together to keep their cover. Just how long can they keep their secret? Woodrow provides readers with multiple perspectives on the humorous and engaging scenario. The narration of events alternates among five exceedingly different student perspectives. For example, Maggie, the studious Harvard hopeful, is determined to take the teacher's role, overseeing all classroom needs. The quiet loner, Eric, must take risks by letting his voice be heard to protect the class secret. While having differing viewpoints is valuable to the plot, individual character voices are weak; tone, word choice, and sentence structure all remain similar despite the changing viewpoints. Additionally, the central plot loses steam with the multiple perspectives, as side plots are initiated and third tier characters are introduced. VERDICT Woodrow's realistic novel is light, with a handful of coming-of-age lessons, yet it fails to quench the thirst of the original premise, a teacher-free fifth-grade classroom.—Mary-Brook J. Townsend, Episcopal Collegiate School Library, Little Rock, AK

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. {review} By Zapkode Marie {My Thoughts} – The title is slightly misleading when it comes to the actual content within the pages. However, I enjoyed getting to know the characters and their personalities one on one as opposed to it all being one big story. Each chapter is written at the point of view of a different character and each character truly emerges from the individual they began as, to the individual the book ends with them being.Maggie – She is a born leader or she believes she is suppose to be. When everything ends up upside down in their class she decides to take charge. Although, in the beginning she thinks it will be easy and fun to help her class mates evolve, she quickly learns that isn’t the case.Samantha – She starts out being such a know it all. She seems to think that he class mates enjoy being told that they aren’t as good at doing things that are more her interest then theirs. She seems to think that any time she is in trouble her daddy can buy her way out. She also thinks it’s okay to bluntly disrespect others no matter who they are. That all changes as her character learns to mature throughout the pages.Eric – He is such a quiet boy. He likes to stay hidden in the background. He appears to have a wild imagination though because he is always writing stories as a way to side track his mind. He has a real nack for thinking things need to be different and change but not wanting to be the one to suggest change or stand up for what he believes.Kyle – He is such a goofball. He gets easily distracted and feels his mom doesn’t think he will amount to anything. He also has a talent at writing rhymes. He has a hard time finding his place among his peers and seems to choose messing around is being the better option as opposed to actually listening and learning.Adam – He seems to always get into trouble but not for things that he does on purpose. He has a habit of doing things with good intention but they don’t always turn out the way that he’d like them to. Because of that he gets into a lot of trouble for the things he does, and when he tries to explain he’s usually told to be quiet. I don’t find the way he is treated to be fair, but then things have the potential to turn around.All of these characters are in the same class. All of these characters struggle with themselves. They each want to be better, they want to make something of themselves. They want to become someone that people enjoy being around, think good things about and look forward to seeing on a daily basis. Each character bands together with the others to help make things better with suggestions, ideas, and better behavior. When you put you mind to doing something right it’s possible that anything can happen and these characters want to do things right, they just take awhile to get to the point where they think they will be able to handle the ramifications of their actions.I think every child can relate to the way this entire class ends up feeling throughout the book. I think that this is a wonderful book for any child to read and that many will come away learning more about themselves and learning that not everything that they think matters right now is as important as the other things that are going on in their lives are may go on in the future.

Thumbs Up From an 11 Year Old By Talvi Class Dismissed is an engaging elementary/middle school read about a class of students who find themselves without a teacher - and then try to hide that situation from school, other classmates, and parents so they can have a long school holiday. But along the way, they learn some valuable lessons about the usefulness of a teacher - and that school really isn't as bad as they always thought it had been.Story: A 5th grade class of mostly misfits manages to finally annoy their teacher enough to make her suddenly quit. Unfortunately for the school, no one has figured that out yet - and the kids band together to continue that 'wonderful' situation. But they soon find out that school is actually harder without a teacher - and maybe goofing off and the hard work needed to fool parents and principal isn't worth the trouble. Perhaps teachers aren't the enemy after all.This is a very entertaining read that intrigues enough to keep pages rapidly turning. The kids sound like kids and did the things they normally do like throwing erasers and spitwads. Class characters include: The smart girl in the class, Maggie, who goes along with the ruse and manages to keep it going - she never really needed a teacher anyway. An invisible kid, Eric, is actually amazing and talented with social skills and making up stories/excuses - he finally gets to shine. Loudmouth Kyle is at first just a goof (burping and throwing objects), but in time he realizes that isn't what he really wants - he wants to learn and get better.What makes the story entertaining is the lengths they go in order to keep up the charade. Each of the students contributes to the problem in different ways; parents must be fooled, fellow schoolmates' curiosity kept at bay, and administrators kept in the dark. It's not as easy as it seems but the class will get very inventive!The kids all learn a lot about each other - discovering hidden talents and how they really aren't all that different as they think. There were many good lessons contained within the story but none overstated or heavy. It's the type of book where you enjoy the plot and then realize afterwards that there were many good points made as well.The above summary is from my 11 year old - a 5th grader. She couldn't wait to get into the book (Dork Diaries is one of her favorite series) and didn't put the Kindle down once she started. When describing it to me for the review, she was animated and excited and really happy she had a chance to read Class Dismissed.Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.
