The idea of getting one over on a foul teacher is great fun and immediately has you cheering for the heroes. The rag tag cast of characters tick all the right boxes and are easy for children to identify with immediately. There's plenty to enjoy in The Dunderheads. What follows is an elaborate plot, weaving elements of the Bash Street Kids with Mission Impossible. When the teacher confiscates the one-eared cat that Theodore (better known as Junkyard) is giving to his mum for her birthday, the Dunderheads hatch a plan to get it back, and teach Miss Breakbone a valuable lesson. The vile Miss Breakbone hates kids and is forever shouting at her class. It's pitched nicely at newly confident readers, although it doesn't quite conjure up enough atmosphere to be a firm favourite. Summary: An interesting tale of a gang of children who get one over on their vile teacher.
