Max Black
Days absent: 0
Days late: 0
Max is a bright boy. If he spent as much time on his school work as he does on annoying Lucinda Tellingly he would get much better marks. I am pleased to see that he enjoys exercise – although I do not count running down corridors making racing car noises. Also I would be glad if he did not shout “Awesome” quite so loudly every time we have football practice

The only good thing I can say about Max Black is that he is always early for school. However, he is the last one into the classroom. He spends far too much time playing tricks with Ben Neal. Mrs Pumpkin is still off sick after discovering an earwig farm in her handbag. Max ignores all school rules. He has recently developed a curious interest in drainpipes and has been seen talking to the wall. This behaviour is outrageous and must stop

Ben Neal
Days absent: 0
Days late: 0
Ben has many abilities which he does not always use. He works very hard at dreaming up tricks to play, which gives him very little time to concentrate on his learning. He enjoys football and skateboarding – indeed, he and his board can frequently be found upside down in a flowerbed

Ben Neal is a strange boy. He is often to be found grinning at gutters
.
He constantly breaks school rule number 742: boys must not break school rules
.
Ben thinks he can get away with anything by flashing his blue eyes and looking innocent. I am not fooled. Indeed I am still waiting for him and Max Black to write a note of apology to Mr Bucket the caretaker. Gluing his wellington boots to the staffroom ceiling was outrageous!

1. Gnome, Sweet Gnome
IT WAS SATURDAY
morning. Nine-year-old Max Black zoomed along in his imaginary spy car and screeched to a halt outside Oldacre Primary School. His best friend Ben was waiting for him.
“I can’t believe we’re at school at the weekend!” said Max.
“Neither can I.” Ben grinned at him. “But at least we’re not going in.”
“You’re right,” said Max. “Ready for our new mission, Agent Neal?”
“Of course,” said Ben. “Secret Plan:Take the Gargoylz to Your Nan’s. But where are
Toby
and Zack? They said they’d meet us here. We can’t go without them.”
