Format:Paperback
Deserves its status as a 'modern classic' - should be read by every 9-10 year old (and every narrow-minded teacher - see above) who thinks that only boys can play football and that all little girls wear frilly pink dresses and play with dolls! Entertaining and thought-provoking.
PS the theft of the £10 note is not seen as 'cool' and much of the story revolves around Tykes effort to return the money to its rightful owner.

this book charts the mischivievous emploits of tyke tiller and his best friends pitthead and danny writen by Gene Kemp. This book is one of those books which has a great storyline with a adventure based genre. It is all about a friendship between tyke and dannny, who will do just about anything for each others friendship to stay as close as ever. There's even a twist: just when you thought you were sure of something it turns out all different. :) :) :)

Once in a while, a story with a simple but brilliant twist comes along and says, "Now why would you think that?" Such is the case in this story of best friends Tyke Tiler and Danny Price, who wreak havoc wherever they go. Not that they always do it intentionally. Danny, not being the brightest crayon in the box, doesn't always know not to take ten pounds from a teacher's purse. Fortunately, Tyke is always there trying to set things straight.
The whole term is a trial for Tyke who has to, at one time or another, fish a sheep's skeleton from a stream, perform chores around the house, steal a test to make sure Danny passes it, deliver electoral leaflets around town and beat up either slimy Martin Kneeshaw or his henchman Kevin Simms. But the real challenge is ringing the broken school bell that was last rung by an ancestor of Tyke's a long time ago. Climbing the roof without a ladder and pushing the bell without falling off or damaging the school will be the real test of Tyke's daring.
Tyke, of course, is a nickname and the subtle hints all over the book of how horrible the real name is sets the reader up for the surprise.

The Turbulent term of Tyke Tiler
I really enjoyed this book when my godmother gave it to me as a birthday present! It was a enjoyable read and it had everyday problems in it! It has a big twist in the end.
