Our Teacher's a Troll

Dennis Kelly

Once there were two terrible twins called Holly and Sean, who gave their Head Teacher a nervous breakdown. The twins were extremely pleased with themselves. That is, until the new Head Teacher arrived. For you see, the new Head Teacher was - a Troll. That's right.

And this Troll Head Teacher soon created all kinds of mad new rules for the pupils and teachers. Can Holly and Sean save the day and stop the Troll from eating their classmates and teachers? Can naughtiness be restored to its rightful place? Will Brussels sprouts and peanut butter be taken off the menu?

Praise for this book

A celebration of naughtiness and questioning, it's a raucous, skin-crawling treat.
Guardian
Dennis Kelly does it again. Not content with unsettling us adults with his dark TV show 'Utopia', he's decided to redress the balance and see how much the kids can take... You never actually see the troll but Kelly's vivid, gruesome descriptions make it feel as if it's right there in the room with us.
Time Out
Our Teacher's a Troll - has all of the wit, grotesque humour and naughtiness of Dahl's best, not to mention some resourceful kids and vile, useless adults.
