Book details
Muckabout School
Description
At Muckabout School, pupils are expected to misbehave, as good behavior is strictly forbidden. New student Gary Goody struggles with this concept, as he is naturally well-mannered and polite. Despite his efforts to fit in by attempting to behave badly, he ultimately fails. In a separate story, the school plans an outing to a local zoo that is facing closure, but things go awry when a reporter documents the children's behavior. Through these stories, author Ian Whybrow uses humor to explore the unconventional world of Muckabout School.
