With silver heels!\nElisabeth Devine causes quite a stir on her arrival in the village. No one can understand why the head of a big inner city school would want to come to sleepy little Barton-in-the-Dale, to a primary with more problems than school dinners. And that's not even counting the challenges the mysterious Elisabeth herself will face: a bitter former head teacher, a grumpy caretaker and a duplicitous chair of governors, to name but a few.\nThen there's the gossip. After all, a woman who would wear red shoes to an interview is obviously capable of anything . . .\nWarm, funny and poignant, Gervase Phinn's first novel creates a fictional world that's as real as can be. It will delight all his fans, and win him many more.\nReaders are loving THE LITTLE VILLAGE SCHOOL!\n'A jolly good read.' - 5 STARS\n'Superb, easy reading.' - 5 STARS\n'I completely fell in love with all the characters in this book.' - 5 STARS\n'Will definitely go on to read more of Gervase Phinn's works.' - 5 STARS\n'Wonderful storytelling, believable characters.' - 5 STARS","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51606182035744,"sku":"9781444705584","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781444705584.jpg?v=1780963941","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-little-village-school-gervase-phinn-9781444705584","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
