The school inspector calls !

Summer has arrived in Barton-in-the-Dale and as a new term begins at the little primary school, it's not just the warm weather that's getting people hot under the collar. Meetings with the teachers from Urebank School to discuss the merger are producing more than a few fireworks, a disruptive new pupil arrives, set to cause trouble, and a surprising staff love affair is exposed. There's also a big school production of the Wizard of Oz to organise as well as an impending visit from the Minister of Education. Head teacher Elisabeth Devine certainly has her work cut out for her -- book jacket.
