A laugh-out-loud story about the craziest school ever, by the author of THE DAY MY BUM WENT PSYCHO. When a new teacher arrives in Henry McThrottle's classroom, spelling tests and maths books go out of the window - literally! For the first time ever, Henry and his friends actually look forward to the end of breaktime. Lessons include How to Skid on a Banana Skin, How to Hang Out of a Window, and How to Conduct an Archaeological Dig. Amidst all the excitement, Henry discovers a map that could lead his class to hidden treasure! What's more, it's buried in the school grounds. Suddenly, a race to find the booty begins...
When Henry McThrottle doodles with his new pencil, his pictures come alive! Henry's classmates get greedy and draw all the things they could possibly wish for - with chaotic results, for the pencil twists their dreams into nightmares. Instead of cuddling a cute little kitten, the kids are trapped in their classroom with a large and ferocious lion! The second book in this hilarious new series from the brilliant Andy.
After Mr. Brainfright does a magic trick with Jack's new pencil, everything that the pencil draws starts coming true, but all the things that it causes to happen are bad.
Northwest Southeast Central faces a fierce athletic faceoff against the menacing Northwest West Academy. Northwest West has an attack dog mascot, a coach who used to be a pro wrestler, and a desire to wipe the field with its opponents. Northwest Southeast Central has a banana. But it isn't an ordinary banana. And the sports event will be quite a competition.
There's a new girl in Henry's class and she seems too good to be true. She's got a photographic memory, extraordinary strength and nothing frightens her - not even spiders. There can only be one explanation: she's a super-advanced, super-intelligent robot from the future, intent on exterminating the entire human race. Henry must stop her or there'll be a robot riot. The fourth book in a hilarious new series from the internationally bestselling author of "The Day my Bum Went Psycho". Also in this series: "TREASURE FEVER" (ISBN 9781407108988), "PENCIL OF DOOM" (ISBN 9781407108995) and MASCOT MADNESS (ISBN 978140709008).
"Robots are running amok in Northwest Southeast Central school! It all started as a harmless science experiment meant to prove whether or not the new girl in school is in fact a... robot. But now a robot of a different kind is chewing up the hallways and causing schoolwide panic. What are the students at Northwest Southeast Central going to do?"--Back cover.
It's sports day for Henry McThrottle's class, and they're up against the horrendous, and apparently invincible, Northwest West Academy - how can they possibly stand any chance of winning?! But when their teacher dons a giant banana costume and starts dancing around like a lunatic, the whole school goes mascot mad! A brilliantly funny story about teamwork and self-belief from the anarchical Andy Griffiths, best-selling author of THE DAY MY BU WENT PSYCHO
