... pupil. "Where didja get that, you nutter?" "Out of Bonfire's purse. She'd left it open. On the desk. So I took it. No one saw me, Tyke." (A quote from the first page to give you the flavour) This ability to capture the child's world, warts and all (apparently Kemp was a teacher for many years) makes it a book that would appeal to the most streetwise of children, and it would be a good choice for a reluctant young male reader.
