Our Wild Weekend
A wicked and, I suspect, perceptive look at what really goes on in the minds and off-duty moments of the children we take on residential visits. Having many times twittered lyrically about the delights of Roman remains and inspirational architecture, I now wonder what the private thoughts were behind the wide, brown eyes and dutifully scratching pencils. James and his friends are real in their irrepressible youth and vulnerabilities. For older readers this is a must; well-written enough to keep 'us' happy and with romance and rebellion enough to satisfy 'them'.
