The science room, the Brain Box, was a wonderful inspiring place full of amazing displays and scientific equipment. All the children loved their teacher, Mr B. Imagine the boys upset and disappointment, when they learned that the football pitch and the Brain Box were to be demolished to make way for a new housing estate. What could the children do to stop it happening? Would they ever get to play in a football team and how could they help to keep their beloved science room safe?

He and Tom decided that they should do something to return life to how it was before. Nobody would want their headteacher as their new dad even if he was a good headteacher and had improved the school's exam results. But what could they do? They try various things with no luck apart from getting themselves in trouble. Then one day the boys see one of the school's supply teachers acting suspiciously. She suddenly takes an interest in them, especially Peter. What was she up to? Could she help them? Should they trust her?
