"Mr Brainfright says: 'It's important to keep a sense of humour at all times, especially when you're being ripped apart by a lion.'"

Mr Brainfright is a quirky teacher at Northwest Southeast Central School. He teaches Grade Five with some very unusual students, an evil pencil, a runaway lion, falling out of windows and much more.

This Andy Griffiths gem is great fun for both boys and girls ages 8 plus.
