Mr Majeika (Mr Majeika, 1)

Product Information

Hamish begins to be kind to everyones astonishment but has he really changed or is there a bigger prize he has his eye on? My 5-year-old loved listening to this, he's not old enough for Harry Potter, but this should lead nicely into The Worst Witch and eventually to Rowling's books. When Mr Majeika is hurt in an accident it becomes clear that Uncle Wilf is working for the wickedest of witches, Wilhelmina Warlock! This does not mean that this book is not applicable for children in key stage 1, particularly those that may be in a high ability reading group. This time there's a trip down a magic river, a battle to save St Barty's from the wrecking ball, and work experience for Class Three.

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. 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.Majeika is an irrepressible wizard sent to "Britland" from the planet Walpurgis because he failed his O-level sorcery exam for the seventeenth time.

At times I had to quickly edit out sexist language, but generally it is a good read-aloud for 7 and 8 year olds. This was a very light-hearted book to read, I would recommend this for KS1 as the story line, although nicely written is very simple in content.

School without magic seems rather boring and Mr Majeika doesn't last long in the other jobs he tries. Within this creepy hotel some very spooky things starts to happen and immediately captures the reader’s attention. Mr Majeika is the first book in a series of books that revolves around an extraordinary teacher with magical powers.This is possibly due to ongoing rights issues after the production company, TVS, dropped out of the ITV network in 1992 and subsequently went through a number of take-overs. One of the most dramatic moments in the book where as a reader you wonder has Mr Majeika taken it a step too far, is during a nature lesson where the class are learning about tadpoles and how they turn into frogs.
