Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Life for the children at Mount Pleasant Junior School is anything but pleasant, especially at Christmas time, for their Head Teacher is the notorious 'Christmas Killer' - Mrs. Miller. The manic Head Teacher, along with her diminutive Deputy Head Teacher Mr. Castle, and S.C.A.M.P students, have quashed even the mention of Christmas at school. On her first day at her new school, the ten-year-old Holly Glover, witnesses Mrs. Miller's barbarity first hand when her teacher, Mr. Mild, is humiliated in front of the whole school for committing the great 'crime' of putting up a Christmas tree in his classroom. "CHRISTMAS," she shrieked, "does not exist at Mount Pleasant Junior School. It is an unwanted distraction. It lowers pupil performance and affects my data!" From that moment on, Holly joins forces with her vengeful teacher, and along with her two friends, Chris and Meera, they decide to try and outwit Mrs. Miller, and return Christmas to Mount Pleasant. Bring on 'Operation Christmas'. However, it isn't long before Holly suffers the wrath of the sadistic Head Teacher which only goes to further her determination to triumph over Mrs. Miller. .Mrs. Miller gazed from one child to another. The dragon was choosing which child to eat first. "And you," she snarled, pointing her claws at Holly. "What's your name?" Holly told her. Mrs. Miller screwed her face up and somehow kept it so, when she spoke: "I hate that name. That alone, is reason enough for a detention. All three of you will report to my office on the stroke of lunchtime. I'll teach you a lesson you will never forget!" Things take an unexpected turn though, when a discovery in Mrs. Miller's office makes Holly think rather differently about Mrs. Miller, a feeling furthered by her conversation with Mr. Broom, the elderly and almost entirely useless Site Manager. .Mr. Broom then did what adults do when they don't want to answer a question. They ask one of their own, to make you try and forget the one you asked. "Do you think Mrs. Miller was always the way she is? She wasn't Holly. Bad things happen to good people and then good people become bad." There is little Holly can do to improve her life at home. The one parent she has left, her father, is a constant source of embarrassment, and her new home is nothing more than a store room for his latest, ridiculous venture. It is at school however, the day-time home of hundreds of aggrieved children, where Holly thinks she can make a difference. Together with her two favourite teachers and two favourite friends, Holly hatches a plan that will hopefully restore the festive season to Mount Pleasant and bring to an end forever, the reign of Mrs. Miller - Christmas killer. "Tomorrow will be a great day - nothing can spoil that," Meera's mother said. "Mrs. Miller might," Holly said, before walking out of the door and into the cold night. What follows is a hilarious but touching chain of events that changes the lives of everyone. This story will resonate with anyone who has taught or been taught in a Primary School at Christmas, which is just about everyone! The story is very funny; very touching and so very, very Christmassy! A perfect book to read to a class full of children or a perfect book to read alone, with a minced pie or two!

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The 'Forsaken Queen' begins when a security guard at Hampton Court Palace is attacked. He claims that a ghost was responsible but no one believes him, except that is for a group of Year 6 school children. These three excited children read of it when they discover they are to visit the Palace. Of these three children, it is Henry Taylor whom the story revolves around. He is the plaything of the playground bullies (who are mostly girls so adding to his embarrassment) and lives with his father above an antiquated bookshop. His life is turned upside down when a new boy, the enigmatic Simeon Temple, arrives at school. The other main character is Dominique Hooper, an Afro-Caribbean gymnast, who herself suffered at the hands of the school bullies. Instantly, she shares an affinity with Simeon who soon becomes the bullies' next target. It isn't long though before Simeon humiliates the main bully, Maddison Manners, gaining the respect of the playground in doing so. The children decide to investigate the incident at Hampton Court. They hatch an elaborate plan to break into the chapel to see if there is any truth to the guard's claims. They soon find there is as they are chased by the ghost of Jane Seymour into the crypt below. There they find the Queen's heart. It would seem though that others desire the heart as they pursue the children through the palace. Back home, Henry finds an old diary within a dusty hardback, written by the hand of Queen Jane. With Simeon's help (his father, a genealogist has a device that can translate old manuscripts) they are able to read the entries. There is enough in the letters for the children to believe that there was something suspicious about the young Queen's death. A visit to The Tower of London provides Henry with an all important clue. He is able to discover a secret message on the parchment wrapped around the heart. The message gives an indication as to where the children can find the last page of the diary entry. Even more remarkably, Henry discovers a mysterious blue ink within his desk drawer. He is astonished when he spills the ink upon the diary sketches: the people in them move and speak. Through the use of this ink, the children are transported back to the 16th Century and are able to find further clues as to what fate befell Queen Jane. Henry concludes that the last page rests with Queen Jane at Windsor Castle. It is there that their hooded assailants arrive, capture the children and attempt to kill them. It is Simeon's father that rescues them and tells them all about Servamus - a secret agency that has manipulated history to protect its mysterious masters. Simeon's father, along with many others (including his own son) work against them to try and repair history and those wronged by their lies. Mr. Temple located the last diary entry but leaves it to the children to read. Soon the children discover the awful truth that the Queen was killed by some of those closest to her, motivated by revenge and a want for power. This truth the children publish online, only for their web site to be closed down the very next day. The children return the heart to Hampton Court, where once again, they encounter the Queen. But this time, she is grateful. Their assistance has redeemed the Forsaken Queen. Throughout the story, the relationship between the children changes: at times it becomes strained, rivalries and suppressed feelings breeding angst and envy.
