5.0 out of 5 stars Educating jack 25 Jan 2012
By Lynne Mckeag
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Absolutely fantastic book. yet again jack brings the Rageley village to life in such a way that you feel as though the characters are talking to you. Loved the 5 legged zebra and george and the dragon and had tears running down my face as i was reading the book in the middle of a coffee shop. I got some strange looks when i started to laugh out loud but just couldn't stop myself . have read all of jacks books but this was I first kindle one and I loved the fact that i didn't have to go searching shops for my fav author or have to wait until the postie dropped it through the door. I would recommend this book to everyone the music he talks about in the books bring back so many memories of my school years and I just love all the books

A must read

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 21 Jan 2012
By Mrs. A. L. Maddocks
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I absolutely loved this book. I was disappointed when I finished it.

This is a very easy book to read. The characters are a laugh. I particularly liked the bits about the "biscuit", Cannon Henry Fodder and the Zebra with the fifth leg!!!

Reading this book you realise how things have changed over the last 30+ years, and not necessarily for the better either.

I have to agree with a previous reviewer that I think this book is probably one of the best if not the best book of the series. You find yourself actually caring what happens to these characters and I was quite relieved to find that eventually all was well after the cliffhanger in the last book.

I can relate to alot of what goes on in this series as I started school in 1978 and picture these things happening during my time at primary school.

Fantastic read. Would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars weaved his magic fingers 24 Jan 2012
By Janet Davies
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved reading this book, Jack Sheffield can make the story feel like it's real and not make believe, the children say funny things, but they don't realize it, I loved this book from beginning to end, but it was sad to get to the end, because I didn't want it to come to the end, very often while reading it, I'd laugh like crazy, it was so funny, and I'd get funny looks from my partner.

I highly recommend this book to others, you will love it, I can't wait until the next one,
