Dusty

Dusty Chalk is one of the older, original school supplies who lives in Classroom B-5. For years, he has been used every day on a green chalkboard by the teacher. Over the summer, the school janitor replaces the green chalkboard with a white, smooth, shiny board. When Dusty Chalk realizes that he is useless on the new board, he begins to feel worthless and hopeless. As the teacher returns to school from summer break, Dusty Chalk knows that his destiny lies in the hands of the teacher. Will he be of use anymore or become a dust of memories?

Dusty Chalk is the first of several books that introduce the characters from The Twisted Classroom.
