What happens when the fourth-grade term grades vanish without a trace? It might, at first glance, seem like a simple mistake — but nothing ever slips past Theocharis. The most remarkable kid in the class is swept, by sheer force of curiosity, into an unexpected adventure. Who took the grades, and why? Will Theocharis manage to unravel the mystery, or will Hermione and the “Fantastic Fourthers” beat him to it? In this story, everyone is a suspect… until proven otherwise. A delightful and lively schoolyard adventure for all the curious, quirky, and wonderfully imaginative kids out there!
The program “Narratives – Stories and Fairy Tales for All Ages,” presented by Maria Karagiannaki Iona, brings listeners — over the course of two episodes — a spirited school adventure from iWrite publications and the 25th Primary School of Komotini. This Saturday, 22 November 2025, from 17:00 to 18:00 on Voice of Greece, we share the first part of the story “Theocharis, the Amazing Kid.” The second and final part will be broadcast the following Saturday, 29 November 2025, at the same time.
The gifted author and PhD candidate in the Department of Theatre Studies at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Giorgos Lymberis, offers an engaging and humorous narration through his book — weaving together all the small, funny, everyday mishaps that can unfold in a school. Through his many hands-on presentations across Greece and his experience as a drama educator in primary schooling, he brings together, with insight and charm, elements of play, puppetry, storytelling, and theatrical technique.
The book’s enchanting illustrations, created by the talented artist Lydia Chatzimarkou, vividly capture the most unforgettable kids of the 25th Primary School of Komotini.
If you, too, consider yourself an amazing kid, join us on this joyful quest to solve the mystery of the missing grades of the fourth grade! And children… don’t forget:
“In this story, everyone is a suspect — until proven otherwise!”
