Viking at School; Pirate Pandemonium

Two relentlessly pacy and very humorous tales that will keep lower junior children chuckling through to the books' chaotic conclusions. In Viking at School, Sigurd the Viking sails through a Time-mist, arrives in twentieth-century Flotby with his trusty sword 'Nosepicker'. In Pirate Pandemonium, swashbuckling supply teacher, Violet Pandemonium, causes a stir when called into Witts End Primary School. Her unconventional approach to teaching is too much for the straitlaced and severe deputy head, Mrs Earwigger, who fears Book Week being hijacked by the new arrival. Both titles have a smattering of illustrations which capture well the frenetic moods of the stories.
