The trouble with sauce by Bruno Bouchet
Harper Collins. ISBN 978733325021.
(Upper primary) Recommended. A funny school story with a
wonderful twist! A very cleverly devised
story which initially
will have parents and teachers wondering, but the plot evolves in an
original
and unexpected way. Jonty is the
teachers' nightmare: smart, cocky and with his friend Boris are
determined to
make every teacher cry. And they are
only in year seven! But the subversive
Headmaster has other plans and so Jonty finds himself with only two
people with
whom he can talk. All the students have
become model students and Jonty, Prune and the brain Nathaniel are
determined
to find out what is happening in their school. It's a well crafted
story with many humorous and off beat
situations. A
good read for both students and teachers.
