Pirate Pandemonium

Witts End Primary School certainly lives up to its name when it calls on Miss Pandemonium to bring the unruly Class 5 pupils into line. But Miss Pandemonium very quickly realises that her real battle is not with the children but with the deputy head, Miss Earwigger, who will stop at nothing to win the battle to make all the children dress up as Flower Fairies to celebrate Book Week. But Class 5 have other ideas and would much prefer to be pirates and, as Miss Pandemonium's swashbuckling shipmates swing into action, a battle that will never be forgotten begins ... From the moment supply teacher Violet Pandemonium arrives at Witts End School in her ambulance and meets her new charges to the very close of the book, Pirate Pandemonium is packed with the kind of laugh-out-loud shenanigans that will have young readers begging for more. Jeremy Strong , Winner of the Children's Book Award, writes with a clear wit that children will love, making this a great book for young readers who are just beginning to gain confidence in their reading abilities and have started to read alone, and pure pleasure for children who enjoy reading along with an adult.
