Bennett may not be the best school in the world - but it's theirs. And Barny, Spag and Clipper certainly don't want to get sent off to snobby King's Road School instead. So when Bennett School is threatened with demolition, the three friends draw up a plan of campaign to save it. But everything they do seems to go disastrously and hilariously wrong...

Bennett School is celebrating its hundredth birthday - and thinking about the next hundred years. There's a prize for the best idea, and Barny, Spag and Clipper are sure they're going to win. They're planning something better than Spotty McGrew's Slang Dictionary. Better than Soppy Elaine's Fashions of the Future. They're going to let people peep into the twenty-first century...

There are rude slogans daubed all over the school minibus. And that's not all. The whole thing has been smashed up and it needs mending. Fast. But there's no money. As usual, Barny Gobbo comes up with a plan. He challenges Thrasher Dyson and his friends to a swimathon and he is counting on Clipper and Spag to help him win. But then he discovers that Clipper can't swim. Can Barny and Spag teach her in time?
