Mr Majeika (Mr Majeika, 1)

Product Information

When confronted with a badly behaved Hamish Bigmore, Mr Majeika finds that he unintentionally ends up casting spells he thought he had long forgotten, such as changing Hamish into a frog or giving him vampire teeth.

The focus on this particular story centres on the main character of Mr Majeika, a teacher at St Barty's Primary School. 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.I recommend Mr Majeika to parents or guardians seeking a light-hearted book about bumbling sorcerers in staid school environments.

The first volume, Mr Majeika, was published in 1984 and was followed by Mr Majeika and the Music Teacher, Mr Majeika and the Haunted Hotel and The TV Adventures of Mr Majeika. It is a book which has a lot of adventure and creativity expressed within it which is something that can be used to support children from Years 3-6, particularly because it helps with their own individual creativity.He arrives through the classroom window on a magic carpet which the children at the time are in disbelief of. Mr Majeika uses a little magic to make the evening memorable but nasty Hamish Bigmore tells the local press and gets the wizard-teacher the sack. K. Mr Majeika is a wizard, sent to "Britland" from the planet Walpurgis because he failed his O-level sorcery exam for the seventeenth time. I can see why it appeals to children - the magical teacher, the naughty boy in the class getting turned into a frog etc. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
