Dullandon Primary School runs strictly by the headmaster's timetable, until the day when Miss Pandemonium arrives. Within a week she has pupil's flying homemade helicopters and making Friendship Cake, and persuades the headmaster to cross the swimming pool in a leaky tub.

Jeremy Strong has been writing for children for many years and, until recently, combined this with being a primary school headteacher. He has a rapidly growing reputation as a writer and won the 1997 Children's Book Award for THE HUNDRED-MILE-AN-HOUR DOG. He was again shortlisted for the Award in 1998 for MY GRANNY'S GREAT ESCAPE. Jeremy lives in Wrotham, Kent.
Dullandon Primary School is a very correct place that runs to the exact standards of the headmaster's timetable. But when Miss Pandemonium arrives to take over a class, she throws out all of the rules, as well as the students' inhibitions and the headmaster's peaceful existence. Fans of other unconventional role models like Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle will enjoy this book, although the British idioms might be hard for younger children to understand. Judy Bennett's precise narration expresses Miss Pandemonium's carefree nature and the headmaster's increasing frustration clearly, allowing the situational humor full rein.
