Mucker, Boogster, Cheesy and Bob, also known as The Abominators, are the most mischievous characters you will ever have come across. Their interests include: chaos, mayhem and filling the school toilets with strawberry jelly.

Their interests definitely DO NOT include: making friends with panty-wanty-woo-wearing new boy, Cecil Trumpington-Potts. Cecil, however, is certain he can change their minds.
