Summary

The second book in the delightful Barton-In-The-Dale series which began with The Little Village School.

Elisabeth Devine certainly rocked the boat when she arrived in Barton-in-the-Dale to take over as head teacher of the little primary school. Now it's a new term, and after winning over the wary locals, she can finally settle in to her role. Or so she thinks... For the school is hit by a brand-new bombshell: it's to be merged with its arch rival, and Elisabeth has to fight for the headship with Urebank's ruthless and calculating headmaster.

She has her work cut out for her. But add in some gossip and a helping of scandal, not to mention various newcomers bringing good things and bad to Barton, and that's not the only trouble that's brewing in the village.

Another great book.

I SO enjoyed listening to Gervais Phinn his narration is superb! He could not be better, he alters his voice for each character and I quite forgot that I wasn’t listening to the real characters. I am off to listen to more of Gervais’s books. Do listen his writing just endears you to all the people in this lovely village.

Delightful, happy story

Gervase Phinn makes each character unique, alive and familiar to his listeners and readers. Another brilliant heartwarming story from the Dales. Looking forward to book3 to catch up with all the goings on. :)

Pleasant read

Gervase Phinn is fun to listen to, I do feel that his books are getting a bit 'same - ey' now though. Pleasant to listen to in between tense crime etc.
