The Three-Berry Academy returns to the world of Horns & Wrinkles, where trolls who live along the Mississippi River have strong feelings about going to school--they'd rather not.
Ms. Quiet Quickthorn is the headmistress of the Three-Berry Academy, a one-room school house found at the bottom of Big Mouth Slough. There's a catfish in the school's rafters and a snapping turtle hall monitor. But even with their help, Ms. Quickthorn has her hands full. Young trolls just don't want to return to school after a summer of roaming free on the river. To fill her classroom she first has to catch her students. And even then they don't come willingly, which only adds to the fun.

Joseph Helgerson was born and raised along the Mississippi River. Catfish and river trolls were his early pals. During the flood of '51 he had to be evacuated from his home by a leaky rowboat. The first school he attended was a one-room country schoolhouse that overlooked the river near Queens Bluff, Minnesota. Today he keeps an eye on the river as it passes through the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, where he lives with his family.
