A wonderful, sunshiny book where scrumptious Miss Mirabelle steps daintily in with her high-heeled shoes, painted nails and frothy blonde hair to take over Lancelot's class in Wallisdean Park School. It's love at first sight for Lance. He's willing to do anything to 'save' the lady in his life from the frankly envious headmistress who disapproves of the teaching, the nails and especially the shoes! Trouble looms with Open Day and it takes all Lance's ingenuity to come up with an idea so irresistible that Miss Mirabelle can't refuse, and so outrageous that no-one will ever forget it.
