Michael was the worst boy in the school, or so his teachers said. He was scruffy, often cheeky and always late. He did like reading, numbers and science, but not the sort they did in school. Despite that he was destined to go far. This book humorously pokes fun at the traditional chalk-and-talk view of education and strikes a blow for the nonconformist lateral-thinking Michaels of the world. The combination of ross's zany illustrations and Bradman's straightforward text should give this one a wide appeal for junior readers.
