Mademoiselle Charlotte est une grand-mère drôle et un brin rebelle qui a inspiré le film à succès La Mystérieuse Mademoiselle C. Ce classique de Dominique Demers pour les 8 à 11 ans a reçu le prix du livre M. Christie.
This book is the first in the series of Mademoiselle Charlotte's Advenutures where the main character keep on changing her identity and delight all children. In the first book she is a teacher, then she will be a librarian, after that a football coach, a minister and so on. Mademoiselle Charlotte is a modern Mary Poppins. The series has been very popular in Canada where it's adapted on television. Mademoiselle Charlotte, the new teacher, is not like the others: she wears a large hat and a crumpled dress that make her look like a scarecrow, and she talks to a rock. The children think she is crazy at first, but soon realize she makes school more fun than ever, getting them to measure the room with cooked spaghetti in maths class, telling fascinating stories about a gorilla and even taking the pupils on at football. The first book in Dominique Demers's popular series, The New Teacher, brilliantly illustrated by Tony Ross, is an entertaining, imaginative and inspiring book that will make you wish you had a teacher just like Mademoiselle Charlotte.

Greg Heffley sa dlho nevedel dočkať, kedy konečne vyrastie. Lenže zrazu zisťuje, že celkom zblízka už dospievanie nevyzerá až tak super. Dokonca aj školský žúr môže dopadnúť všelijako... Navyše treba hľadať odpovede na nepríjemnú otázku: „Čo sa to, dokelu, deje s mojím telom?“ A to všetko bez verného kamoša Rowleyho po boku. Zvládne to všetko úplne sám? Ako s ním zamáva krutá pravda?
Na stene školy sa objavili záhadné zelené škvrny. Greg Heffley je hlavný podozrivý, hoci neurobil nič zlé. Aspoň nie naschvál.

Lenže keď sa mu nad hlavou začne hompáľať hrozba vojenskej školy, Gregovi konečne docvakne, že ho pred prázdninami v uniforme zachráni jedine poriadna dávka hrdinstva...
