Synopsis
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.

From AudioFile
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.
