A fourteen year old finds himself in trouble with the school Principal – again. This time, however, he has a genuine excuse, but is he likely to be believed?
This popular BritLit kit has been revised and reshaped from the 2005 original and contains new material. The teacher is offered a ‘slimmed down’ version which can be used to occupy just one or two lessons. There is also a bank of supplementary material for those who want to spend more time on the story.

Great work. Thank you for sharing. As soon as possible I am going to put into practise it.
Interesting, reminds me of the The Wolf is Coming story.
A very thoughtful article and this is a problem that every teachers have with kids thats getting in trouble often. Trust them or not to thrust..
Nice story. It is funny and simple. Good choice.
Thanks a lot for the story. It was very instructive, gives much food for thoughts, and promotes the students desire to reading. I'll, undoubtedly, use it in my teaching practice.
