Martha, aka "Marthur", pulls a magic spoon from the wall of the boy's bathroom. One of her teacher's names is Ferlin. Guess what story this is a takeoff on. Simple plot; not a bad book, but trying a little too hard to be funny. (

A modern day king Arthur tale set in a school, this book will leave you rolling on the floor in stitches and make you wonder who will pull the spoon out of the bathroom wall?
