Jannah Is Not Average

By Sarah Kushairi

"Be someone who'll make me proud."

Following the words of her late grandmother, 16 years old Jannah Ismail had set her mind on becoming a medical doctor, much to the skepticism and disbelief of those around her. To prove her worth, Average Jane-nah must first gain admission to the prestigious science stream in her school, despite her C in Mathematics.

Jannah's next course of actions resulted in her getting transferred to another school, grouped in the same class with the carefree, troublemaking art stream students of 4-D, who had, for unjustifiable reasons, been banished by the principal to a spooky and mysterious old house located at the back of the school for more than a year.

Miss Eleanor Yee, a young teacher aspiring to change the world, had tasked herself with several missions; to help Jannah become Doctor Jannah, and to bring 4-D back to their old classroom. For these to happen, she would need all the help she could get from the all-rounder 'superior' science streamers of 4-A, aka the school's own Marie Curies and Isaac Newtons, without the imperious principal meddling in their ways.
