September 2012 Book of the Month. The school where hilarious things happen, is back. Not surprisingly, there are some pretty hair-raising adventures as a result and the setting provides an unusual vision of school and the activities that go on there. With a fiery mix of unpromising pupils and eccentric teachers and Inspector Cuthbertson who is right behind them, determined to destroy the school for good: it's the final conflict...Ribblestrop is a great place to revisit.
This is the third in this terrific adventure series for 9+ year olds.
The children are back! - but an air-crash and an unsteerable raft quickly land them in deep waters. Rescued by a mad librarian, they're soon off on a dangerous quest across the wilds of Ribblemoor, exploring haunted flare-paths. Can they uncover the ancient mysteries of a secret tribe? Can they survive the dangers of Lightning Tor?
