Books
Mr Majeika and the Ghost Train
In an attempt to stop Wilhelmina Worlock from trapping Class Three in the weather factory, Mr. Majeika attempts to transform himself into a flea and bite her. Instead, he accidentally recalls the wrong spell, transforming himself into a balloon. Bloated and unable to talk, he cannot undo his mistake, and Wilhelmina forces the children to work in the factory by threatening to pop him if they disobey. Fortunately, Dennis the Dragon reverses the spell, and Mr. Majeika turns back into himself again.
