Principal Pinkleman: The Ultimate Grump
With his stern glare and mustache that could scare a statue, Principal Pinkleman tries to run the school like a super‑serious army base. He loves rules: no smiling in the hallways, no “unapproved” games at recess, and absolutely no fun without a form.
The problem? His over‑the‑top rules always backfire in the funniest ways. From cancelling recess after a science experiment goes wrong to installing a “helpful” hallway machine that hates fun, Pinkleman is constantly causing problems the kids have to fix.
Deep down, he’s not evil – just very bad at remembering what it felt like to be a kid. Which means there’s always a tiny spark of hope that he might change… if the kids can survive his next idea.
Miss Frazzle: The Boom‑tastic Science Whiz
Miss Frazzle is the heart of the school – a super‑enthusiastic science teacher with a lab coat covered in mysterious splatters. She believes any problem can be solved with curiosity, teamwork, and maybe a small explosion.
Her experiments don’t always go as planned: foam floods, mini‑volcanoes, and gadgets that behave badly are all normal in her classroom. But she always turns the mess into a lesson, helping the kids feel brave and capable, even when the principal is being the worst.
She’s the grown‑up ally the kids need – the one who thinks big, laughs loud, and quietly nudges Principal Pinkleman toward being just a little less terrible.
Jack: The Brave New Student
Jack starts his first day at a new school with a backpack full of worries: Will he make friends? Will he get lost? Will anyone notice if his hands won’t stop shaking?
He doesn’t expect to face the World’s Worst Principal. When Pinkleman’s wild rules and bad decisions start wrecking everything good about school, Jack has a choice: keep his head down or speak up.
With help from new friends (and a few messy science experiments), Jack discovers he’s braver than he thought. He might not be able to fix everything, but he can make a difference – one clever, kind choice at a time.
