5.0 out of 5 stars Even better., 6 Feb 2008

By	Hector Parkinson (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mister Teacher (Paperback)

I enjoyed the first novel, TEACHER, TEACHER, and have been looking forward to the new one.

It was nice to be amongst old friends from the first book, and meet some new characters in Jack Sheffield's engaging tales of school life. I was at primary school at this time and so many things hit home.

The writing was great in the first book, but I thought it was even better here. Jack is a truly engaging companion in this affectionate and nostalgic tale and judging by the ending it looks like there will be more to come. Darn it, I am going to have wait!

An excellent read and thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Will Catch On!, 14 Jun 2008

By	Joanne D'Arcy (Portsmouth, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mister Teacher (Paperback)

This is the second in Jack Sheffield's part story part autobiography of his tales as a Head Teacher at a village school in Yorkshire.

The book is set in the late seventies, when the world was a seemingly different place, where the excitement of Margaret Thatcher becoming the first Woman Prime Minister on a national level to Vera, Jack's faithful secretary becoming the President of the local Women's Institute. What I love about this book and the story is how simple everything must have been then, only merely 30 years ago and also Jack Sheffield has achieved in showing the reader that actually a lot has changed in this time.

The worries of paying 30 pence a pint, that �1 million pound was a lot for a footballer and watching football on television was free were major talking points for a little village, think how much these things are now and they are all still being talked about.

You need to have read the first book, as it is a great introduction to the characters and this book cracks on with the story without the need to go over who everyone is and what role they play in the village. The likes of Ruby, the school caretaker with a larger than life personality and the delightful Beth, who has captured Jack's heart, are all featured. Look out for Laura though! There are new characters, which I hope in further books will be dealt with more, Miss Golightly of the local shop, Tim the hardware shop's pernickety owner all add to make this a rich tale of village life and it's centre, not just being the pub but the school where the next generation of locals are being developed and nurtured by Jack and his team of teachers.

My review of the first book commented on its over similarity to Gervase Phinn. I take that back with this book, this is a unique tale within its own right and worthy of a read. It will make you laugh, chuckle but also warm your heart with its stories as you go through another year with Jack Sheffield. Cannot wait for the next in the tale.
