She was wearing red shoes! With silver heels! Elisabeth Devine causes quite a stir on her arrival in the village. No one can understand why the head of a big inner city school would want to come to sleepy little Barton-in-the-Dale, to a primary with more problems than school dinners. And that's not even counting the challenges the mysterious Elisabeth herself will face: a bitter former head teacher, a grumpy caretaker, and a duplicitous chair of governors, to name but a few. Then there's the gossip. After all, a woman who would wear red shoes to an interview is obviously capable of anything….

Warm, funny and poignant, Gervase Phinn's first novel for adults creates a fictional world that's as real as can be. It will delight all his fans, and win him many more.

A very entertaining book

Like all Gervase Phinn books, this was full of humour and the blunt and direct way of speaking that the children he writes about adopt. I enjoyed all of the digressions, but the main plot was very predictable. This didn't stop me listening to it all as the whole narrative was soothing and as comfortable as an old pair of slippers and a steaming mug of hot chocolate in the troubled times of the Covid-19 lockdown.

Easy listening
