Can I Start Again Please
Sue MacLaine and Nadia Nadarajah

Our Teacher's a Troll
Paines Plough and Half Moon
Two terrible twins rule their school, until the arrival of a headmaster with green scaly skin, sharp gnarly fangs, and a long spiky tail. An outrageously entertaining comic caper from the writer of Matilda the Musical.
The Human Ear
