Sascha Martin’s News Day. Mr Jack and Mrs Barnum are strangely upbeat, when they should be terrified. And kids are bouncing off the walls with excitement.

Introducing his latest invention, Sascha has only this to say: “Don’t drop the Super Ball!”

Why not? What happens if you drop it?

Sascha’s not telling. And his nemesis, Mary-Alice Cooper, will do anything to uncover his secret.

Could things get out of hand? They certainly could, and it wouldn’t take much to set the ball rolling.

One small misstep for Sascha. Check.

One giant leap for Mr Jack. Check.

One girl who won’t take “Just be patient, Mary-Alice,” for an answer. Check.

From John Arthur Nichol and Manuela Pentangelo, the team who brought you Sascha Martin’s Rocket-Ship and Sascha Martin’s Time Machine, comes the latest chortle-inducing catastrophe from the chain of disasters that is the Sascha Martin series.

Sascha Martin’s Super Ball. His worst disaster yet, by leaps and bounds.
