Publisher's Summary:
The third Little Village School novel.
Summer has arrived in Barton-in-the-Dale and as a new term begins at the little primary school, it's not just the warm weather that's getting people hot under the collar.
Meetings with the teachers from Urebank School to discuss the merger are producing more than a few fireworks, a disruptive new pupil arrives, set to cause trouble, and a surprising staff love affair is exposed. There's also a big school production of The Wizard of Oz to organise as well as an impending visit from the Minister of Education.
Head teacher Elisabeth Devine certainly has her work cut out for her. And that's just some of the drama set to shake-up the village. Throw in a sprinkling of secrets, shocking revelations, old flames, new liaisons, psychics, weddings and misfortune...there's plenty to gossip about this term.

Wonderful!
A gentle and moving tale of life in a small Yorkshire village told with giid humour and keen observation.
Book three of three
Any additional comments?
Wish I had known this was the third book in the series. A good story however but would have been better if I had listened to the two previous books. I was left up in the air about what was to happen to some of the characters at the end of the book. I assume all will be revealed in the next book (or at least some of it).
This is one that I will read again.

The relationship between the head teacher and her brightess pupil is beautifully written.
What does Gervase Phinn bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?
As with any conversation based text the reader brings the characters to life in a way reading can never quite capture. Gervase does a wonderful job here.
A True Gem
Just love the little village school characters and Mr Phinn brings his characters alive so beautifully. A true gem, recommended by my Mum, Elizabeth, a teacher who also loves these books.
