Description:  Once Upon An Ordinary School Day - Colin McNaughton

It was an ordinary morning when the ordinary boy woke up, and it was an ordinary journey to school - but then Mr Gee bounced into the classroom and everything changed. Mr Gee plays rousing music which thunders around the classroom, and asks what it makes them think of. The dull grey world has been transformed into one of colour and excitement. "Write a story about"  laughs Mr Gee. And the ordinary boy began to write: the words just tumbled out of him. And the places he went to, and the things he saw were extraordinary.
