Light hearted school gate drama
Within the immediately recognisable world of school mum's worries and hopes for their pre-teen children there is a darker mystery and hints that a variety of secrets will come to light during the course of the book. An easy, witty read which sets up several intrigues, the extract leaves me wanting to know how it progresses and plays out. The cover colour and illustrations indicate a suppressed domestic context, with plenty of space for revelations!
