Fun and magic combine as usual in this new Mr Majeika story.

The pupils in Class 3 at St Barty's School are not impressed when their headteacher imposes strict rules of behaviour for Halloween.

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.

School without magic seems rather boring and Mr Majeika doesn't last long in the other jobs he tries.

His long-time enemy, Wilhelmina Warlock is clearly behind all the trouble; she and the dreaded Hamish must be defeated before life can return to normal.
