About
It's almost the end of the year, and Room Nine is taking a field trip to a farm! The whole class is very excited…except Junie B. Jones. 'Cause farms have scary ponies, that's why. And scary roosters, too. Will Junie B. find anything good at this place? Or will this turn out to be the "worstest" field trip ever?
