Vivacious and spirited book" -- John Carey, Sunday Times 20030401 "Marie Stubbs ... recognised the need and potential in the pupils, rallied dispirited staff, steamrollered 'petty bureaucracy' and restored self-respect to a school that had died of shame." -- The Times 20031227 'Read this book with horror, sympathy, and laughter' -- The Catholic Herald 20030401
