Tear Jerker / The Return of the Magic School Bus

• Some of the situations with the kids at the beginning of the story can be heartbreaking:
  • Keesha has lost all faith in Miss Frizzle's magic since her grandmother was put in the hospital for cancer.
  • Arnold and Wanda, formerly the best of friends, had a falling out after Janet planned a birthday party for Arnold but he forgot to tell Wanda, and Janet never realized that Arnold wanted Wanda there. Not helped by Arnold's reluctance to make up with Wanda, causing her to think he doesn't want to rekindle their friendship.
