Paperback
(Frances Lincoln Children's Books, June 9, 2006)
Meet the Purple Class. Yasmin thinks she sees the ghost of the Green Lady, who haunts the school looking for first year students to kill with scissors. Surely the old, mean-looking lady in the green dress is the specter herself — or just the Orange Class’s substitute teacher. And what has happened to Mr. Wellington? The Purple Class is sure he must have died a gruesome death when they find a skeleton sitting in his chair. Is this Mr. Wellington’s skeleton, and if it isn't his, to what poor soul does it belong? What will they say when the school inspector comes around? This energetic collection of illustrated stories is a perfect blend of cultural cross-fertilizations, imaginative flights of fancy, drama, and humor.
