Product Description
Product Description
An uplifting story about an extraordinary teacher nun with a passion for motorbikes!;Dark, grey, dilapidated buildings, leaking rain...Sister Vincent's first impression of St Agnes in the Pasture convent school is hardly inspirational. But then to straight-laced Mother Margaret Aloysius, her nuns and three teenage girl pupils, the new arrival is something of a sight herself in silver wellies and pink glasses, a box of tools under one arm. The Lord, it seems, is moving in a very mysterious way indeed sending a dynamic, globe-trotting teacher of motor mechanics to a school that barely has electric lighting, never mind a car. The discovery of an ancient motorbike in the barn, however, gives Sister Vincent and the run-down school a surprising and exhilarating kick-start! And for Helen, Sara and Isobel it's a real education!;Dyan Sheldon's books include "Dreams of an Average Man" and "My Life as a Whale'. She has also written "Tall, Thin and Blonde", "Harry and Chicken", "Harry the Explorer" and "Harry's Holiday", "Skywatching" and "A Night to Remember". She is also the author of "The Whale's Song" (winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal) and "Love, Your Bear Pete".
