Book description
Pirate Pandemonium: Witts End Primary School is definitely at
its wits' end when it calls on Miss Pandemonium to look after unruly
Class 5. But Miss Pandemonium soon realizes that her battle isn't with
the children, it's with Mrs Earwigger, the deputy head - she will stop
at nothing to defeat Pirate Pandemonium and her class of swashbuckling shipmates!
Pandemonium At School: Dullandon Primary School runs strictly
by the headmaster's timetable until the day a supply teacher, Miss
Pandemonium, arrives. Within a week she has everyone trying to fly in
home-made helicopters, making Friendship Cake which is far too
friendly, and she even persuades the head, Mr Shrapnell, to cross the
swimming pool in a leaky tin tub. Mr Shrapnell thinks it's all too
much to put up with but, when the school inspector praises the school
for its creative work, he comes round to her way of thinking.
At the age of three, Jeremy Strong fell out of a first-floor bedroom
window and landed on his head. His mother says that this damaged him for
the rest of his life and refuses to take any responsibility. He loves
writing stories because he says it is 'the only time you alone have
complete control and can make anything happen'. Jeremy lives near Bath
with his wife, Gillie, four cats and a flying cow.
