Book Synopsis

A laugh-out-loud young fiction series from bestselling author Joanna Nadin.

According to head teacher Mrs Bottomley-Blunt, 4B is the Worst Class in the World. She says school is not about footling or fiddle-faddling or fun. It is about learning and it is high time 4B tried harder to excel at it. But Stanley and Manjit didn’t literally mean to make their whole class sick with homemade biscuits. And they definitely didn’t literally mean for Manjit’s dog Killer to eat their teacher’s shoes or for Bruce Bingley’s rat to escape. These things just happened even though they had a foolproof plan. You see, 4B may be the Worst Class in the World, but you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Highly illustrated and featuring two hilarious madcap adventures in one book, these books are just right for children ready for their first chapter books.

Our Review Panel says...

Joanna Nadin’s popular series has become a staple for primary children who enjoy a dose of anarchy and relatable humour. This book follows the chaotic, unruly capers of primary school Class 4B.

There are gross bits, funny gags and wild mishaps – and it’s part of a whole series, which will please readers the minute they get hooked into these stories (which they will). It’s perfectly pitched for children who want something fast-paced and funny to keep the momentum going. The chapters are short and accessible.

For children who enjoy the humour of Pamela Butchart or similar classroom-based shenanigans, they’ll love getting stuck into 4B’s latest disasters just as much. It’s a highly readable, fun-first series that prioritises letting laughter loose.
