This is Garry Plotter's first day at Hardly Works School of Magic but he's got more on his plate than just finding out where his locker and homeroom are located. He must stand up to the school bully Drano Badboy and his henchmen Drab and Boyle, stop the evil wizard Luscious Badboy and Evil Wizard Formerly Known as He Who Must Not Be Mentioned from taking over all the other panto lands, hide the fact his school is magic from his insufferable Aunt Patootie and Uncle Vermin - and if there is time...maybe even fall in love.
Remember this show is completely interactive - Cheer for the good guys, boo the bad guys and talk to the characters as much you like...just be careful as they will almost always talk back!
