The Meanest Teacher in the World
Children's Books Friends / Family
A class sticks together!
Paul’s class has a new teacher: Ms Merry. But unlike her name suggests, she’s anything but cheerful.
In no time at all, not only are trading cards banned, but also tropical fruits, laughing, coughing – and even the colour red. Paul and his friend Theo decide it’s time to take action. But alone, or even as a duo, they are no match for their ruthless teacher. Her rules grow more absurd by the day, and her powers seem almost supernatural. Could she be a witch? A vampire? Or maybe even an android?
Paul and his classmates realize that only by joining forces do they stand a chance. But cracking the code of Ms Merry’s tyranny won’t be easy …
- A perfect mix of suspense, friendship and child-friendly humour – for girls and boys
- A chance to share the thrill of the mystery: What’s behind the nasty teacher?
- By the author of the successful ‘Penny Pepper’ series, which has been translated into 11 languages
