Synopsis

Back to Front Benjy is a collection of four humorous tales about peculiar children. In the title story, Benjy does everything backwards, causing chaos at school until a lightning strike changes his ways. 'The Hitmus-Potmus' features Benjamin Bean, a rude boy who learns a lesson from a tale about a creature that eats impolite children. 'Brown's Bones' tells of a young wizard who transforms his family into animals, only to be outwitted by a clever witch. In 'Little Liar,' Lionel's fibs lead to a disastrous tea party with his Auntie Marigold.
