Having been a teacher to trade the author tries to capture the reality of school life in all its horror and humour. Also he introduces an 'alien' teacher who has special powers that seem to allow him to help students in the way all us teachers wish we could - by magic? A 'teach' for over 25 years, he tries to look at the problems of our children, our teachers, our world... but his tongue is firmly in his cheek... isn't it?!
