Mr Majeika & Mr Majeika And the Music Teacher (Young Puffin Modern Classics)

MR MAJEIKA tells of the arrival of St Barty's Primary School's most unusual teacher - he arrives through the window! Mr Majeika, the new teacher is a wizard; he turns the class nuisance into a frog, takes the class to Buckingham Palace on a magic carpet and gives the children a term they will never forget. MR MAJEIKA AND THE MUSIC TEACHER tells of the arrival of a new music teacher at St Barty's - Wilhelmina Worlock the witch. Life is turned upside down as Mr Majeika and Wilhelmina try to out wit each other with their amazing magic tricks. Peace returns when Wilhelmina is sent from St Barty's as she came - in an envelope!
