Scott and his friends are simply staying alive in year 5 until their
surprising new teacher, Mr Murlin, comes along.
Boring textbooks go into the bin, eating chocolate in class becomes
compulsory and suddenly it's OK to be weird.
But Mr Murlin is not popular with everyone. . .
Staying Alive in Year 5 is a monster hit
for primary school readers from one of Australia's most popular
storytellers, John Marsden.
