I found this book for my niece. Before wrapping it up as a post-xmas present, I found myself reading it from cover to cover, unable to put it down. My niece will love it - it's got spot-on humor for the 8-12 set and is clever and educational to boot. Another winner from the inimitable Anne Fine. (For a first-rate adult read, read Fine's The Killjoy - another prizewinner but for the grownups).

Tasked with looking after the new boy, Ivan who cannot speak English, Boris quickly finds himself embroiled within a moral dilemma as the comments Ivan directs towards his class-mates become ever-more inflammatory!
Comedy, chaos, communication barriers and classroom capers quickly ensue in perfect combination leading to a wholly cohesive and utterly satisfying read. Anne Fine has made dark humour her trademark and characteristically it is lavished throughout this novel in ways that are guaranteed to get guffaws and giggles from even the most staid reader. A worthy winner of the silver 2007 Nestle award, this short, highly engaging read is one that is not to be missed.
