Things aren't looking good for 4X. With another teacher running away screaming (literally), Arlo wonders how long the new supply teacher will survive. When Mrs. Ogg takes the class to the zoo, Arlo realizes it's up to him to keep everyone in line. What Mrs. Ogg fails to mention is that this is no ordinary zoo...

4X (now 5P) are back with a completely new teacher: Miss Pythia. Though she's no Mrs Ogg, her strange prophetic visions and mysterious box are definitely not normal. Arlo is sure something else is going on and, when 5P are picked to take part in A Play in a Day, they might finally find out just what exactly is in that box.
