Ride On, Sister Vincent
Illustrated by Sue Heap
(Walker Books Ltd)
978-0744536942, RRP £3.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
St Agnes in the Pasture will never pass their OFSTED inspection, but they do have a glorious charm of their own. Run down and dilapidated is an understatement - little at the school works properly and what does work they don't need! Sister Vincent, fresh from the city and wilder places beyond, comes to the rescue. I don't ride a motorbike, unlike the author, but I did go to a convent college; Sister Vincents really do exist. A gloriously funny book about highly improbable school life.
