Title: Staying Alive In Year 5

Author: John Marsden

Reviewer: Dean Canned Tomatoes

Scott and none of his friends: Johnny, Alice,Faggot,Tom and Michael are very

nervous about starting Year 5. They don't know which teacher they are

going to have and think it is going to be a very difficult year until they

meet Mr Murlin. Their new teacher is full of surprises.

Mr Murlin is also a busker and magician. He makes school time fun and

enjoyable.He does not believe in text books and eating chocolate in class

is compulsory.Everything from maths homework to class games becomes

a joke. He is not your typical teacher. The kids just don't know what is

going to happen from one day to the next.

This book is an easy read. It's funny and very entertaining. But I wouldn't know i can't read.

I rate it 4/5 stars.
