Mr. Majeika and the Music Teacher
Author(s): Humphrey Carpenter
The sudden arrival of a new music teacher throws St Barty's School into confusion. Mysterious smells start coming from the staffroom and creepy-crawlies appear out of nowhere. The new arrival is, of course, Wilhelmina Worlock, a wicked witch with some nasty tricks. It's up to Mr Majeika to try to outwit her.
