She dresses in black and drives a black, vintage tin lizzie, known as "Miss Esta Maude's machine." But Esta Maude has a flaming secret vice, a racy, sin-red sports car that she drives like the wind of a Friday midnight. Author-Illustrator Cummings manages to be folksy, foxy, and covertly Freudian all at the same time, and his book will appeal to any child who has conjured up an off-hours double life for teacher...
