Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Witts End Primary School certainly lives up to its name when it calls on Miss Pandemonium to bring the unruly Class 5 pupils into line. But Miss Pandemonium very quickly realises that her real battle is not with the children but with the deputy head, Miss Earwigger, who will stop at nothing to win the battle to make all the children dress up as Flower Fairies to celebrate Book Week. But Class 5 have other ideas and would much prefer to be pirates and, as Miss Pandemonium's swashbuckling shipmates swing into action, a battle that will never be forgotten begins ...
From the moment supply teacher Violet Pandemonium arrives at Witts End School in her ambulance and meets her new charges to the very close of the book, Pirate Pandemonium is packed with the kind of laugh-out-loud shenanigans that will have young readers begging for more.
Jeremy Strong , Winner of the Children's Book Award, writes with a clear wit that children will love, making this a great book for young readers who are just beginning to gain confidence in their reading abilities and have started to read alone, and pure pleasure for children who enjoy reading along with an adult. (Ages 6 to 8) --Susan Harrison --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Not that great
4 Dec 2004
Format:Hardcover
For Jeremy Strong's usual writing standard, this book is not that great. It is just average.
The story is about how one renegade substitute teacher, Miss Violet Pandemonium, who drives a second hand ambulance, turns the stale environment of Witts End Elementary School, into a lively and fun environment.
There's of course the usual villian in the story - Ms Earwigger, who is the deputy head teacher of the school. She tries her best to put an end to the merry making resultant of Violet Pandemonium's way of teaching and extent of influence on the other classes in the school.
Yet another predictable teacher story, but lacking the excitement of those teacher stories that make it to become movie blockbusters, this book is an ok read.
