5.0 out of 5 stars Teacher's delight, 1 April 2002
By A Customer
I bought this book when we were focusing on Anne Fine as an author during our literacy hour. I thought that it would be too young for my yr.5's but they absolutely loved it. They are still stealing it off my shelves! It has great undertones which children of this age can relate to not to mention ideal for character reviews. A text that all children enjoyed from the able to the special needs.
