Daniel, a boy with problems in maths, is meanly mocked by another pupil in his class. Looking for peace as he strolls through his local park, he soon meets a mysterious elderly gentleman, who knows about the boy's problems and wants to help solve them. Daniel finds that his mathematical troubles can be fixed with strategies that await him in five parks across the world on a magical journey. And every time, in rhyme.

The day primary school teacher Ms. Grayston gets bitten by an unusually patterned spider, is the day the world changes...

 

Soon afterwards, milk begins to be delivered to petrol stations and people mistakenly pour skimmed, 1%  and fat reduced into their engines. Television stations go off the air. Eleven own goals are scored in one football match.  Streets become abandoned. And what about the overly organized Ms. Grayston herself? She arrives late for work after collecting four traffic tickets, breaks the classroom’s TV set and puts on red felt marker instead of lipstick. Meanwhile, disorganized people everywhere have begun colour coding their socks.

 

What can be going on? Ben and his companions, the pretty new student Leela and his oldest friend Martin, with a little help from Ben’s father, are out to investigate and save the world, despite a few mishaps along the way!

Something dastardly is going on at Easton Elementary. All the older teachers have been replaced with younger ones.  The school smells of cherry blossoms one day and an awful pong wafts from the basement the next. And who is Windy Winterbottom? Her poster hangs on walls around the school, telling all children they must eat cabbage, baked beans and eggs for school lunch. What does this have to do with making Easton Elementary the most famous school throughout Canada and the world?

 

Three friends, Ben, Leela and Martin, discover a plan that is so shocking you might want to turn away now. Or do you dare to discover what waits in the Dungeon of Pongs?
