«Good, But Perhaps Not What Fans are Looking For»
"Teacher Trouble" is the second book release for the popular children's television series originating from Iceland --- "LazyTown." In this book, the kids go to school only to find that they have a weird new substitute teacher. You see, Bessie Busybody normally teaches class, but she took sick, so Mayor Meanswell was supposed to fill in. When he gets there, however, he finds "Mr. Donomore" (Robbie Rotten) there --- who tells him that Busybody sent him because she knew how busy he is with mayoring.
As you might expect, Donomore is a rotten teacher. Teaching? No way. And one of his rules is "no questions." Class quickly gets out of control. How will Sportacus save the day?
This is a decent book, but it's not really like the TV show. Robbie doesn't say "It's disguise time!" and seems to be an even more incompetent villain than usual. This book has a fun concept for the series, but could have used a little fine-tuning. Still, if you or your kids are fans of the show, this book is worth having a look at.
