Ten of the Best - School Stories with a Difference (Paperback)

What have Bernard Ashley, Marjorie Blackman, Berlie Doherty, Paul Jennings, Margaret Mahy, Michael Morpurgo, Jenny Nimmo, Michael Rosen, Jeremy Strong and Robert Swindells all got in common?

'They all went to school!

And they all write fantastic stories.'

Ten brand new school stories – based on their own schooldays – from ten of today's finest authors.

Find out how Jeremy Strong stopped being a 'thoroughly idle boy'; why Michael Morpurgo ran away from school and who the shyest girl in the class was. Discover what made Paul Jennings madder than mad; how a white elephant nearly got Jenny Nimmo expelled and why Marjorie Blackman hates bullies. Then learn how Bernard Ashley survived the Blitz; where Robert Swindells got close to Mount Everest and why Margaret Mahy became a witch…and much, much more! There are good days and bad days, funny days and sad days, but one thing is certain – school days can never be forgotten!
