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.
