Mr Majeika (Mr Majeika, 1)

Product Information

Class Three is astonished when their new teacher, Mr Majeika flies in through the window on a magic carpet. And to everyone's delight it looks as if Hamish will have to remain a frog because Mr Majeika can't remember the spell to turn him back again! This is possibly due to ongoing rights issues after the production company, TVS, dropped out of the ITV network in 1992 and subsequently went through a number of take-overs.

Majeika enters into his magic with reluctance, however, because he is trying hard to behave himself on Earth, and because the Worshipful Wizard of Walpurgis is keeping an eye on him from above. He drops into the sleepy village of Much Barty, finding a post at St Barty's School as Class Three's new form-teacher, where he quickly befriends two of the children: Melanie Brace-Girdle and Thomas Grey.This time there's a trip down a magic river, a battle to save St Barty's from the wrecking ball, and work experience for Class Three. She loves stories set in schools and Mr Majeika's magic that gets class 3 in (and out of) all sorts of trouble is a lot of fun. Books like Mr Majeika can transport us to places where anything is possible and help keep the magic of childhood alive.

I rather enjoyed how the magician would lose his temper with poor behaviour (Hamish Bigmore often falls victim) and cast various spells on pupils then apologise profusely but never know how to reverse the damage. While I can't read these pages with the same boundless enthusiasm as when I was eight years old, I do appreciate Carpenter's storytelling style far better.But rules are made to be broken, and that’s exactly what happens when Class Three’s new teacher flies in through the classroom window and lands on the floor with a bump! As well as the Mr Majeika titles, his children's books also included Shakespeare Without the Boring Bits and More Shakespeare Without the Boring Bits. I liked it when the children flew up with the magic potion and when Hamish Bigmore made a cup of tea for Mr Majeika with a magic potion but Mr Potter drank it. As a rule, magic carpets don't turn up in schools, but this is exactly what happens when Class Three's new teacher flies in through the classroom window and lands on the floor with a bump.
