A Spy at Mill Green

The third of Alison Prince's stories about life at Mill Green school has opt to be recommended, despite some failures in the dialogue. There are such a lot of positives in the pace, observation and description, that the storyline holds together well and sustains interest throughout the one hundred and twenty-three pages. As the science lab blazes chaotically around their investigations into the components of crude oil, the philosophical interjection of, 'I suppose they think you remember it better if you actually do it' provides an apt conclusion to the lesson. A book for teachers to savour as well!
