A funny and insightful story about two boys - one good, one naughty - who start at a new school on the same day. Their records are muddled before they arrive, and as a result the teachers' expectations of them cause them to act very differently from usual. This combines an amusing school story with some interesting insights into how the way people treat us can have a profound effect. An accurately-portrayed school setting, with beautifully-observed depiction of the ways primary-school children try to be accepted, both by their teachers and their clasmates Combines laugh-out loud slapstick humour with interesting insights into school life
