The school bazaar is revolutionized and the headmistress throws her inhibitions to the wind as Marvello's hypnotic powers take over. Quite simply a super book. Read to a class of ten-year-olds, it brought the house down, and at 90 pages is short enough to encourage the less confident to go it alone. One to help convince the most reluctant reader that books really can be fun.
